Thanks to the Early Years Network, I was able to explore the all shiny-new Postal Museum. Actually, it's pretty exciting turning up, just seeing teams of postal vans at platforms at the depot across the way - it sets my geeky cogs going ... how does it really all work? How on earth does my letter, posted in a panic one evening, so often land on the doorstep the next morning? Especially since these days, I've noticed, so much London delivery is done on foot.From a learning perspective, the new galleries are, of course, a dream. They feel similar in aesthetic and layout to the new design gallery at London Transport Museum (LTM)- is this reflective of an evolving style in gallery design? Or were the same designers involved? Either way, they are rich with interactives, costumes to try on, buttons to press, lights to light up and a chance to design your own 'selfie stamp'.
