Stamp collecting is a hobby with a hundred and fifty year history and a favourite pastime for countless millions worldwide. These days, we hear less about philately than we did in the 1960s and 1970s – when the National Federation of Hungarian Philatelists (MABÉOSZ) had two hundred thousand paid up members who purchased Hungarian stamp novelties –, although stamp collecting is no less pleasurable now than it was in the past. People have realised that purchasing stamps from the second half of the... 20th century was not a rapid path to financial security. But the act of compiling a collection on a particular subject is still a significant and satisfying achievement, both for the person who creates the collection and the person looking at it. Besides classical philately – the value of which is based on the postal role of stamps – there has been the so called thematic philately for a hundred years, searching the connection between the motives of stamps and elements of history, the arts or science. Millions of stamps issued around the world offer an interesting and unexpected mirror to the past. Music is no exception and we gain an insight thanks to this exhibition compiled with the help of the Society for Hungarian Philately and the Stamp Museum. This exploration of the world of music as depicted on postage stamps is also an interesting journey in time and space through art history.
