Hi Diane, thanks for clearing that up! The character looks so adorable, and somewhat yellow, which was why I thought it resembles a bee. I’ll try to find an English version of the story. It looks interesting :) Thanks!

I’m sorry to tell you that your favorite Venezuela’s stamps is not a Bee, this stamps are about a tipical childrend’s tale that its called The croacroach Martinez, so, is not a Bee, it’s a croacroach. This tale is similar to the spanish one that is about a mouse. In this stamps (i’m translating) down the blue letters of Venezuela it says: The Croacroach Martinez and The Mouse Perez (La Cucharachita Martínez y el Ratón Pérez)
In the other side, i love the stamps, my grandfather collected it too. My favourites are the Beatrix Potter’s one.
P.S.: Sorry for my english. Here the site where the tale and the stamps are, but it’s in spanish.

tiny M: People probably think that this museum is targeted at a niche crowd. But the gallery is a very comprehensive one, and not just for stamp collectors. There is so much to learn and visualise about Singapore history just by viewing the exhibits. I think everybody would find something of interest here.

py: I had yesterday.sg in mind too! Would someone submit this for me please? Thanks!

ooohhh.. philatelic museum is one of my fave museums.. not that i visit museums much but the philatelic museum always has very interesting exhibitions! It never fails to be creative! But it’s quite small and never in the limelight much compared to the other museums. Thanks Veron for introducing this great museum to everyone! :)

Wow you have a stamp collection too? Looks like it’s a favourite childhood activity for many of those in our generation (and before).

come to think of it, it has been a while since I take out my stamp collection… let alone going to the philatelic museum!

Thanks Walter! Do you know that every museum trip gives me something to look forward to and leaves me with a refreshing feeling afterwards? Needless to say, I love blogging about it too. Hope to get more people visiting our many museums and heritage sites!

Next stop: Peranakan Museum!
