Since our launch in January 2006, the British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA) has worked together with ICONS to bring you valued and informative material.

The BPMA has featured on its website an exhibition of all the icons featured in stamps. A rich collection of works, the collection demonstrates the stunning artwork that has been part of our history in stamps.

The museum has also worked with ICONS to enrich content about the Machin Stamp, providing curriculum material that can be used in schools to teach pupils about the Penny Black. Investigate our Activities section to see how you can bring stamp design into your classroom!
