A collection of the winery gave the son of Jacob Balaban, who was a centurion of the Chairman of the UPR Directory – Alexander Balaban. He is already 60 years old living in United States. "I was a little boy when I learned how Papa fought for Ukraine, he was cool. And then I began to understand more about Ukraine and a little boy thinking about how I can help dad. I told myself that I want to have each brand of Ukraine. When in Ukraine it was impossible to collect stamps when even shot at people who had the brand with the Trident," - said Alexander Balaban. In the solemn opening of the Museum took part the Deputy Chairman - Director of the Department of education and science of regional state administration Igor ivasjuk. "a landmark event as for the Vinnytsia region and Ukraine. The history of postage stamps isn't that long. When the first brand, then apparently no one thought that in addition to its immediate value it will have the value of artistic, aesthetic, but it so happened that the marks are highly valued in the world. Museums brand is not much, only 40 countries. And it is therefore not surprising that in Ukraine it is the first Museum brand. Yet it is remarkable that this Museum is Ukrainian brand. So I think it will be another highlight, where people will come who are addicted to brands," said Igor ivasjuk. The Museum is currently represented only one percent of the stamps from the collection of Alexander hall, which houses the home of the stamp collector in America. "Here are the mark, which is the only one in the world. No Museum could never have the money to buy, because she is one. Ukraine stamps 1918, many are not. Ukrainian stamps show the history of Ukraine, when on the envelopes used by the Ukrainian stamps, then it was the Ukrainian authorities. Soviet leaves, and they are lonely, because Ukrainian printed. Ukraine had 6 postal Department, and here are the stamps each postal district since 1918. Soviet Union was the first brand was 1923, the year and the Ukraine 1918. Ukraine for one year issued more stamps than England for 150 years," said Alexander Balaban. Exactly how much the collection is unknown, it's still not done counting. Philatelists noted that the cost is measured in millions of dollars. The Museum will be able to visit all of them for kids and students free admission .
