The GPO Museum is located in the General Post Office in Dublin, Ireland which opened on 29 March 2016.[1]
On the same location was the An Post Museum located between 28 July 2010 and 30 May 2015. It was a small museum which offered visitors an insight into the role played by the Post Office in the development of Irish society over many generations.[2] The An Post Museum & Archive continues to hold the Post Office's heritage and philatelic collections, mount occasional temporary displays of its material and publish research on aspects of Irish Post Office history.[3] As well as Irish stamps and philatelic information and a scale model of the GPO, there were several audio visual presentations, An Post's copy of the 1916 Proclamation and a Pepper's ghost dramatisation about the role of the staff who were actually on duty in the GPO on Easter Monday 1916. Much of the information and audio visual material contained in the museum continues to be available on the website. The physical museum was replaced by a new visitor centre housing a permanent exhibition marking the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
