Self-guided Tour

Stop #1 (Museum Level 2, William H. Gross Stamp Gallery)

A block of four Inverted Jenny stamps are shown. These stamps have a red exterior and a blue interior, with an upside-down plane in the center.

Inverted Jenny

24c Curtiss Jenny invert block of four, 1918

Go into the William H. Gross Stamp Gallery and find the “Gems of American Philately” exhibit. There, you will see four “Inverted Jenny” stamps, still together in what we call a “block of four.” This rarity is treasured by stamp collectors so much that it is the equivalent of the Louvre’s Mona Lisa.

Take a close look. Just like a work of art, the beauty is in the details. But with a rare stamp, the beauty is also in its flaws. To understand how this mistake happened (plane printed upside down), watch the film in the theater behind you or visit the Spider Press adjacent to the exhibit.

Spider Press video »

Stop #2 (Museum Level 2, William H. Gross Stamp Gallery)

Amelia Earhart’s leather flight suit on a mannequin

Amelia Earhart’s Flight Suit

This famous female pilot broke flying records in the air, and while on the ground she shared her stamp and cover collection. You can see relics from both parts of her life displayed here, on the touch screen interactive and in the adjacent cases.

The flight suit kept her warm and safe on her adventures. She helped raise funds for such adventures through the sale of the letter she carried. The envelopes with special cancels, carried aboard those flights, instantly created a collectable desired by stamp experts. They pre-paid for the envelopes flown aboard her plane which she would postmark with the dates of the flight.

Stop #3 (Museum Level 2, Historic Lobby)

The Historic Lobby

Historic Lobby Ceiling

As you transition from upstairs to downstairs, pause to look up at the ceiling in the Historic Lobby. This building was constructed as a companion to Union Station by the same architect, Daniel H. Burnham. The hexagonal shapes in this ceiling echo the shapes in the Union Station ceiling. Both are of the Beaux-Arts style, promoting balance and symmetry. The building opened in 1914 as the D.C. city post office and served as the central hub for all mail going in and out of the nation’s capital. It was built adjacent to Union Station because all mail leaving or coming into major cities travelled by train.

Stop by the postcard writing desk to create your own mail piece to send. One of the postcards features the building and how it looked in 1914.

Stop #4 (Museum Level 1, Railway Post Office in the Atrium)

A taxidermy dog wearing a harness covered in medals.

Owney the Dog

In the museum’s atrium, you will see a Railway Post Office on your right in the “Moving the Mail” exhibit. In addition to the train car, you can find one of its most loyal patrons: Owney the Dog. The story of Owney, the scruffy mutt who became the unofficial mascot of the Railway Mail Service (RMS) in the late 19th century, is one of the most popular exhibits in the National Postal Museum. Visit Owney to learn how he became the most well-traveled and well-loved postal dog in history.

Why does he have all these metal tags on his harness? Take a look at this video to learn more about his adventures.

Snap a selfie with this adventurous dog and share with your friends and the museum @PostalMuseum.

Stop #5 (Museum Level 1, Behind the Badge exhibit)

A mail collection box covered in powder and a worn envelope.

Anthrax Letter & Mailbox

In the Behind the Badge exhibit, you will find many stories and objects from crimes postal inspectors have solved to protect those who use the mail. One of their most memorable cases was in 2001 when anthrax was sent through the mail. At the end of the Behind the Badge exhibit, find the blue USPS mailbox covered in white powder. This collection box was the one the anthrax letters were mailed from. The powder is from its decontamination treatment. In the adjacent case, you can press the button to shine light on the envelope and letter that originally contained anthrax.

The first of these letters killed Florida newspaper employee Robert Stevens. Others were found addressed to politicians and reporters. In the end, 22 people were infected with spores from the anthrax letter attacks, including nine U.S. postal workers. Two of these postal workers died, and the Washington D.C. mail sorting facility where they worked now bears their names.

Stop #6 (Museum Level 1, Atrium)

Merchandise in the Museum Shop

Museum Shop & Stamp Store

Adjacent to the Behind the Badge exhibit is our Museum Shop and Stamp Store – browse fun postal and stamp-themed goods that we sell in the shop! Now you can take home your very own Inverted Jenny rarity (in t-shirt or mug form).

In addition to receiving special cancellations when dropping off a letter here (please ask for a special cancellation), the museum’s Stamp Store holds a variety of stamps that you can’t find in your local Post Office. Ask the USPS clerk at the Stamp Store for a binder that shows their available inventory.

Go into the William H. Gross Stamp Gallery and find the “Gems of American Philately” exhibit. There, you will see four “Inverted Jenny” stamps, still together in what we call a “block of four.” This rarity is treasured by stamp collectors so much that it is the equivalent of the Louvre’s Mona Lisa.

Stamp Design Station with a touch-screen monitor and pictures attached to the wall.

Stamp Design Station

Unleash your creativity at our Stamp Design station! What goes on a stamp? Animals, icons, and you! Use the photo feature to add your picture to the stamp design -- and don’t forget the rate! Once you complete your design, email it to yourself and share it with your friends (facebook, twitter, instagram, etc) or send it to stamps.com to make real postage.

Stop #4 (Museum Level 2, William H. Gross Stamp Gallery)

A one cent blue postage stamp with a right profile drawing of Benjamin Franklin.

1-cent Z-grill

The National Stamp Salon is filled with the best examples of U.S. stamp material ever collected in one place. There are thousands of treasures here, but if you can only stop to see one thing, it should be the 1-cent Z-grill. You can find it in frame 239 .

This stamp became rare when it was pressed with a grill pattern to help absorb ink and deter re-use. It is one of only two known examples of a z-pattern grill used on a 1-cent stamp. This is the RAREST U.S. stamp.

Stop #5 (Museum Level 2, Historic Lobby)

As you transition from upstairs to downstairs, pause to look up at the ceiling in the Historic Lobby. This building was constructed as a companion to Union Station by the same architect, Daniel H. Burnham. The hexagonal shapes in this ceiling echo the shapes in the Union Station ceiling. Both are of the Beaux-Arts style, promoting balance and symmetry. The building opened in 1914 as the D.C. city post office and served as the central hub for all mail going in and out of the nation’s capital. It was built adjacent to Union Station because all mail leaving or coming into a city like this travelled by train.

Stop #6 (Museum Level 1, Systems at Work exhibit)

A machine with ten keypads

Multi-Position Letter Sorting Machine (MPLSM)

Enter the Systems at Work exhibit by turning right at the base of the escalators. The next time you mail a postcard, you might guess how it gets to its final destination. If you’d mailed it in the 1970s or 1980s, the postcard’s journey surely would have included a trip through a Multi-Position Letter Sorting Machine that had a keyboard like this one.

After the invention of the zip code in 1963, postal employees could use machines like this to code and sort letters at tremendous speeds, sending them via conveyor systems to the correct sortation bin for further distribution. A machine with 12 stations could sort 30,000 letters per hour, about one letter per person, per second. Can’t imagine it? Give it a try at the interactive station or check out this video clip .

Stop #7 (Museum Level 1, Railway Post Office in the Atrium)

Stop #8 (Museum Level 1, Mail Call exhibit)

Coconut mail

Coconut Mail: This is nuts!

What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever received in the mail? Did you know that you could (and still can) send a coconut by mail? In the Mail Call exhibit, you will find the coconut that Mrs. Marie Boudet received one day in early 1944. It was from her husband, Raymond, a Navy Seabee who was stationed in Hawaii during World War II. The postage cost 37 cents and was canceled by the U.S. Navy, the Navy Censor, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

An unusual love letter from Marie’s husband, the back of the coconut (which you can’t see because of how the object is displayed) bears a heart pierced with an arrow, inside of which is carved “Ray” and “Marie.” The back is also carved with the message “Seabees Hawaiian Islands 43-44.” A paper decal of a scantily clad hula girl playing a ukulele embellishes the message. Any piece of mail sent without additional packaging around it is called “Naked Mail.”

To see images of the back of the coconut and to read more about interesting things that were sent through mail, visit this page on our website .

Customer

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Novodevichy Convent, Moscow

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Using Media Mail

  • Printed music and test materials
  • Video and sound recordings (including tapes, albums, and CDs/DVDs)
  • Playscripts and manuscripts
  • Printed educational reference charts
  • Medical loose-leaf pages and binders

NOTE: Video games, computer drives, and digital drives do not qualify for Media Mail prices.

Weight, Size, & Shape Requirements

  • Maximum weight is 70 lbs.

See the full list of requirements and allowed items: Media Mail Eligibility Standards

(Note: Library Mail is a related service for eligible organizations, including schools, museums, nonprofits, and other groups.)

Additional Package Fees:

Dimensional (DIM) weight rates apply to large, lightweight packages. If your package is larger than 1 cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches):

  • Multiply Length x Width x Height and divide by 166 to get the DIM weight in pounds.
  • If the DIM weight is greater than the actual package weight, you’ll need to pay the DIM weight price.

Example: You have a package that is 16” x 12” x 10” and weighs 5 lbs.

  • Multiply length x width x height to get the volume of 1,920 cubic inches. That’s larger than 1 cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches), so you must divide by 166 to find its DIM weight: 1,920 divided by 166 equals 11.56, which rounds up to 12 lbs.
  • The DIM weight of 12 lbs is greater than the actual package weight of 5 lbs. You must pay the postage as if the package actually weighs 12 lbs.

If you omit or give inaccurate dimensions and/or don’t pay the DIM weight rate (when it applies), you’ll pay a dimension-noncompliance fee of $1.50.

  • For ground shipping via USPS Ground Advantage, you’ll pay more if your package measures:
  • Between 22 and 30 inches long: add $4.00
  • More than 30 inches long: add $8.40
  • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $18.00
  • For expedited shipping (via Priority Mail Express or Priority Mail), you’ll pay more if your package measures:
  • More than 30 inches long: add $18.00
  • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $30.00

For business shippers using Parcel Select® service, learn more about how to measure your package and what fees may apply .

TIP: Use the USPS ® Price Calculator tool to calculate your domestic postage costs. You'll need to know your package’s weight, shape, and size measurements.

Located one block off of Main Street, City Hall is a powerful civic statement at the heart of downtown Moscow. Designed by James Knox Taylor, Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury, this Renaissance Revival building served as Moscow’s post office for sixty-three years. Few other Idaho buildings in the early twentieth century cost as much or had as competent an architect. The building became the Moscow City Hall after a period of nearly twenty years of discussion and debate.

What is today the Moscow City Hall was built during the Progressive Era, when the federal government was expanding the civic infrastructure to meet the needs of a rapidly growing country. Taylor, a highly regarded classicist, spent fifteen years as supervising architect of the U.S. Treasury, overseeing the design and construction of more than 800 federal buildings, including this one. This handsome, three-story structure is built of brick, since stone was not readily available in the Moscow area. Here, the red brick is trimmed in ivory terra-cotta. Ground-floor windows are tall and round arched and the central panel of each is made up of double-hung, eight-over-eight sashes. These are flanked with four-pane sidelights and topped by graceful fan windows for a Palladian effect. Second-story windows are six-over-six rectangles, with accented corners and keystones of terra-cotta. The third story is shortened, set off by a terra-cotta course decorated with round discs. The small, third-story windows are shaded by a wide classical cornice with a course of large dentils. The original roof is metal seamed and hipped. The space below the cornice and between the third story windows is richly decorated with terra-cotta panels and patterned brickwork. A Scottish mason named Howard Buchanan was paid double wages to come to Moscow to execute the brickwork. Apparently, Buchanan was so particular about brick selection and laying that he nearly bankrupted the building’s contractor.

The main entrance is in the central bay of a five-bay facade, and is reached by a flight of ten steps. The fan window above the entrance is repeated over the four windows on this story. The main entry originally featured a revolving door that has since been removed. The south end of the building has a similar doorway in a three-bay front. The raised basement is marked by grill-covered openings below the first-floor windows. This public building is one of only five buildings in downtown Moscow that rise to the height of three stories or more, all of which were built by 1912.

In 1973 a new post office building was under construction and the fate of the old post office and courthouse was hotly debated. Local civic activists began a fervent dialogue with city officials and the Department of the Interior to identify possible uses for the stately building. The City of Moscow eventually purchased the building and by 1981 it had been partially refurbished for use as the Moscow Community Center. During the next decade further discussions led to the complete renovation of the building and its conversion to the Moscow City Hall.

The interior of what remains Moscow’s most handsome and sophisticated building has been fully restored. The old courtroom on the second floor, with its finely detailed oak paneling, was turned into chambers for the city council.
