Perfect Service in the Philatelic bureau by Mr. Ramkissoon.
The philatelic bureau is inside the Mauritius Postal Museum building.
Another friend from Vienna has similar experience.

Loved the history. My great great grandfather left Mauritius in 1868. So I found it extremely interesting. Interesting.

I actually enjoyed my visit there a lot. 150Rs per person to enter, which is alright. I learned a lot and the building is pretty. At the end, there is a (small) stamp collection for those who like that.

Nett, leider Baustelle!
Die Blaue Mauritius ist die seltenste und mit 8Mio Euro die wertvollste Briefmarke der Welt!

For the 500MARupee entrance we expected to see a few stamps a be on our way, but was pleasantly surprised. There is a detailed, bilingual, exhibition telling the history of the postal service and how it developed, along with the railway and air services.additionally, a section is dedicated to the local romantic story of Paul et Virginie.

Très intéressant. Histoire d'un pays, l'esclavage, la colonisation..,tout est expliqué. Le cadre est paisible...
A faire absolument. comptez 3 heures minimum.

Great museum situation inside the post office. A 10 minute walk from Waterfront. Entrance fee application, not expensive consessions for seniors see pictures. Doesn't take too long to walk around. Interesting history about sending mail. Wasn't busy only me and hubby. Great visit if you want to get out of the sun and heat. Highly recommended

We visited three times, and it was closed every time, despite the times on the website saying it'd be open. On the first visit, it was closed for lunch. On the second visit, they were open but would not let us enter because it was too close to closing time. On the third visit, the door was locked tight, despite the website saing it should be open.

Même si vous ne voulez pas visiter le métier, il faut rentrer dans le bâtiment afin de voir la boutique du musée. Cette dernière comporte quelques beaux articles à prix doux.
