Discover Session: The Royal Cipher

Saturday 8 November 2008

BPMA Discover sessions are a great opportunity to experience postal history first hand, under the expert guidance of our curatorial team.

Crowns and ciphers used by the Post Office over the centuries reflect and celebrate its Royal origin. Our curators will explore the diversity of the Royal device using objects from the extensive BPMA collections.

This Discover Session has been specially designed for the visually impaired, but is open to all our visitors.

Please note that there is a charge for this event, payable on booking.

Visitors are advised to bring a packed lunch as there are no cafes or shops nearby.
