The Philatelic Gallery (Sala
Filatelica) at the National Museum of Anthropology (MUNA)
in San Salvador was inaugurated on 27 March 2007 by
Rene Santamaria (Director of Posts), Mario Tenorio (Vice
Minister of Government), and Gregorio Bello Suazo (Director
of the National Museum of Anthropology).
Its exhibits comprise stamps from the collection
of the Postal Direction from 1867 to 1995. The initial idea is to complement this selection with
more material.
Besides its importance as a showcase for
Salvadorian Philately, the Postal Gallery is also a meeting
point for collectors, as the regular Saturday meetings
of the AFISAL and the biannual auctions are also held
on the premises of the MUNA.
The Philatelic Gallery can be visited from
Tuesdays to Sundays from 9AM to 5PM. Its website is http://www.munaelsalvador.com/index.php |
