As a liberal arts major, he studied the history of communications with excitement so that visitors to the Diósd museum leave satisfied. And he succeeded! In the guest book, they thanked the always-smiling, soft-spoken curator one by one. But when the situation allowed it, this modest colleague, who was otherwise hidden in the background, proudly donned the postman's uniform and cheerfully participated in the museum games. The game now continues without him. You will be missed, Mr. Overseer!

On October 9, 1874, the Universal Postal Union (Union Postale Universelle) was established during the Bern Convention. The purpose of the association was to provide free postal services between countries. Hungary - as part of the dualist state - was a founding member of the organization, which is still based in Bern and has more than 190 members.

At the founding congress, the Hungarian delegation included Mihály Gervay (national postmaster general) and Péter Heim (mobile post!)

More pictures - also of related objects kept in the Postal Museum - can be seen atin a post published on our Facebook page.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the event, the settlement, which was awarded the title of Civitas fidelissima (the Most Faithful City) in 1922, organized large-scale cultural events at several times and locations. On September 26, the city center was filled with citizens wearing period clothing. Magyar Posta in Sopron welcomed those interested at one of the most visited stands.

The Postal Museum contributed to the creation of the 100-year atmosphere with period uniforms and equipment reminiscent of the services of the post office at that time.

More pictures can be viewed atin a post published on our Facebook page.

Magyar Posta discontinued its domestic telegram service as of April 30, 2021. The first telegraph - in this hemisphere - was transmitted between Vienna and Bratislava 174 years ago, i.e. in 1847. What happened between the first and last Hungarian telegram, the Magyar Krónika staff investigated with the help of experts. We explore all this from several perspectives: with the help of a historian, a futurist, a communication researcher and a technical museologist.

Built between 1924 and 1926 according to the plans of the architect Gyula Sándy, the house was both an office building and a technical building, the General Directorate of the Hungarian Royal Post used the office parts, and the first automatic telephone exchange was in operation on the side facing the castle. The building was used by the post office for 82 years. The current owner is the Magyar Nemzeti Bank, which will also establish a money museum in the building, within the walls of which the first exhibition of the Postal Museum opened as a national specialist museum in 1955. Our guide on the walk was the architect Tihamér Szalay, who supervised the renovation.

On October 4, 1909, the post office opened in Magyaróvár in the two-story house designed and built by Béla Hőnel. Béla Hőnel was a busy master builder at the turn of the century and the following decades, who designed and built many buildings in and around today's Mosonmagyaróvár. As a prominent personality of the city, he was a member of the representative body, the legislative authority, several charitable and cultural associations, he was the president of the industry association, he did a lot for the city, its community and its citizens. The building standing today on Városkapu tér is one of the most beautiful houses in Magyaróvár, and it was not for nothing that it was called Postapalota for a long time, and for a while the square where it stands was also called Posta tér by the town public. The building has been expanded several times, but it has preserved its characteristics and still maintains its function, today it functions as the city's post office number 3. Október 4-én, a megnyitás 110. évfordulóján Beregszászi Balázs Hőnel Béla tisztelői és Urbán Gyöngyi a Postamúzeum nevében nevében helyezett el koszorút az épület oldalán.
