Inspirational heritage
The Postal Museum has been shortlisted as a finalist for the ‘Best Heritage Project’ at the National Lottery Awards 2018.
The Postal Museum launched in September 2017. In its first six months, more than 92,000 visitors poured through the doors to explore the museum's two interactive exhibition galleries, school learning space, archive discovery room, and Mail Rail: a subterranean train experience that follows London's 100-year-old postal rail network.
The National Lottery Awards are the annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery-funded projects. Lottery players raise £30 million each week for projects across the UK and the Awards are a great way of celebrating the ordinary people doing extraordinary things with National Lottery funding.
Now in their 15th year, the Awards recognise the incredible difference that Lottery-funded projects have made to people, places and communities all across the UK through the 535,000 grants awarded since 1994.
