Description of the attraction
The Postal Museum at 2 Karaeva Street is one of the interesting sights of the old quarters of Evpatoria. This museum is located in the currently operating fourteenth post office and is a vivid exposition of the evolution of postal communication in photographs. The museum collection is very often replenished with new exhibits.
Each visitor to the Evpatoria Postal Museum can see with his own eyes the presented evolutionary path of development of postal communications. The exposition of photographs located in the museum was named “From the messenger to the Internet”. In addition, the post-museum exhibits: photographs of horses, with the help of which letters were transported to the most remote villages, various bicycles, a carriage, mail trains, as well as specialized mail planes.
The most valuable exhibit of the Evpatoria museum is a postcard dated 1914 and the newspaper Iskra from 1916. Museum workers will acquaint each visitor in more detail with the interesting history of the development of postal services not only on the Crimean peninsula, but also in the country as a whole.
The real pride of the Postal Museum is the ancient, but at the same time, accurate postal scales, which, over the years of their existence, have not let down the postal workers more than once. During the official opening of the museum, a small experiment was carried out: the brochure was weighed on the old ones, and then on the electronic scales - its weight coincided with an accuracy of a gram.
The Yevpatoria Post Museum will still be replenished with new exhibits. Museum workers promise to install a mannequin in the form of a postman in full uniform in the near future. However, post office employees say that it is not so easy to find old large postman bags with copper signs today.
