Stamp Festival 2013

Exhibition Period: 9:30am - 5:30pm, from 9 October 2013 to 5 January 2014. Open on Tuesdays through Sundays, and public holidays.

"Kid's Dreams on Stamps" is the theme of Stamp Festival 2013. Childhood is one of the happiest periods in a person's life. It is a time to play, enjoy and be happy. Unfortunately, that's not true for all the children. The UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), governed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, was established on December 11, 1946. The UNICEF works to ensure children's rights in survival, development, participation and protection. This is because... CHILDREN is the best of the world!
