Every year, Postcrossing collaborates with the Singapore Philatelic Museum with one very special exhibition. But it’s not just every year, it’s every Chinese new year! The exhibit celebrates the Chinese Zodiac animals: Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox and, the current one, the Year of the Tiger.
A few month ago, we have requested Postcrossers from all over the world to send them postcards with tigers that they used to display in their exhibition: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Danger. And, as always, Postcrossers have excelled in their contribution and offered a shower of postcards.
Mishelle at the Musueum shared some photos that we now share with you all:
Happy Year of the Tiger! :)

Happy to the BIG CAT. :D
A wonderful exhibition. And, oh - I can see my card on the wall :)
Seems like a beautiful exhibition, and thanks for the return card. ;)
Thank you for sharing these photos. I received a lovely thank you postcard from Mishelle for sending in a tiger card for the exhibit. Nice surprise to find my card in one of the photos!
hey! thanks for sharing :D
I can see my card!
I too had sent a card. no idea if it reached them... :(
I, too, got a return card from Mishelle, thank you; I’m looking forward to doing that again. I see a card in the bottom left corner of the last photo that is one I got in a swap with a young Postcrosser from China; he wrote, “There is a toy tiger on the card, it’s a little scary, I think, but popular in China. Every Chinese had it when he/she was a kid (including me) 100% Chinese style!” I can see the card next to it on its right is the reverse of this same card and has the same kind of Chinese stamps as my card, the red one has a cartoonish tiger standing on two legs, the Chinese Year of the Tiger stamp?
that is awesome!! :)
I can't see my card but it is there because I also received a thank you card. :) Thank you Mishelle! I hope you read this. :)
