Stamp programme 2013
Dear customer! Welcome to a new stamp year! The year’s first stamps were issued on 2 January, with Norwegian fashion as the theme. This is the first time that this theme has been featured on Norwegian stamps. The stamps depict the works of fashion designers Nina Skarra and Camilla Bruerberg, and Kristin Granli has designed them. This year marks the 150th anniversary of Edvard Munch’s birth. We are celebrating this with four wonderful stamps and a miniature sheet, which feature some of Munch’s most famous works. The stamps will be issued on 15 February, and have been designed by Enzo Finger. In connection with the 150th anniversary of Edvard MunchNorway Post also issues its second prestige booklet. Read more on page 9.
