Where would you go if you wanted to see a great work of art, such as one of Michelangelo's many masterpieces? A museum seems like the most obvious place, of course. Perhaps, an art gallery. Or if you're lucky, an eccentric billionaire's private collection. But actually, the place I had in mind was none other than the post office. Despite what you may think about stamp collecting being a relatively plain hobby, it offers its own artistic excitement.
We've gathered a collection of stamps that display some of the most beautiful and iconic paintings and works of art ever brought to life by legendary artists like the illustrious creator of David, as well as Mary Cassatt and Sandro Botticelli. These postage stamps have allowed the greatest works of art to travel the world and be appreciated by people in every walk of life. Soak in all the glory of these miniature masterpieces and definitely think about switching up hobbies!
