Stamps of Hungarian Post Administration were solely made in the National Press from 1871 until 1949. Stamp production began with lithography. The first stamp made with mixed technique was made in 1888, as well as series printed in 1919 and 1920.
A taste of the exhibition
Stamps have been printed in the Bank Currency Press since 1949. The Petőfi series was made in the same year. Later stamps were made with mixed technique: line engraving, steel-engraving etc.

In Hungary, stamps were made from steel-engraving in the Bank Currency Press first. Brighter colours and the mixed technique applied resulted in beautiful notes.

We show curiosities that came off during making. These were often produced in the 'classic era'.

In the year 1881, curiosities were worth 10 'krajcár'. One of the most well known of the stamps with wrong marking was from the year 1913, the 'Turul' and the 'Harvester' 1921/24.

Several of the designers Légrády Sándor, Vertel József, Gál Ferenc and Zombory Éva were internationally acclaimed.

The permanent exhibition shows stamp series from 1871 until 1987.
