We invite you to visit the exhibition "Mailbox No. 11"
To look back at a time when writing paper letters was not just a holiday-inspired activity, but an important form of everyday communication, the museum team has prepared a special exhibition. It reveals the life story of a special mailbox. This time, not about a holiday miracle, but about a communication network that spans almost all continents of the world and is not related to the digital age.
The holiday season has arrived. For some, it is a moment of peace and reflection, for others, it is a time when hope and anticipation for the Christmas miracle are kindled in the heart. It is a time when we become sincere and want to please not only our loved ones, but also friends, colleagues, and business partners.. Good wishes wrapped in gifts, warm smiles, or handwritten greeting cards wrap around the holiday season and stop our fast-paced daily routine for a moment. The peaceful time of writing letters has arrived, and at the same time - the busiest time for post offices!
We invite you to take a look at these letters. Each one is like a time capsule — the breath of paper, the smell of ink, and the sound of a typewriter that still echoes in the silence today. They hold countless stories and carry within them a persistent desire to explore the world and the diversity of nature.
And you know what? They were all received by a gardener full of passion and enthusiasm! He started a conversation with the wider world and that was all... the beginning of this place!
Have a bright festive season!
