The museum was housed in the Central Post Office in Lima and showed a lot of diverse material somehow related to the Peruvian postal history. Unfortunately the Postal and Philatec Museum was closed in 2010 and until now it's unkown if it will be reopend again in another location.

Today you find in its place at the old Post Office the Gastronomy Museum.
