Description

Discover the story of definitive stamps, from the very first design to today.

Definitive stamps are everyday stamps, which in the UK feature the reigning King or Queen. This year, a new monarch will feature on stamps for the first time in 70 years.

See some of the rarest and most valuable British stamps from the reigns of six monarchs and explore over 180 years of iconic design in this special exhibition.

Find out how stamps and royal cyphers are developed and produced and how monarchs influence these designs, shaping their own royal identity through everyday objects.
