President of the European Academy of Philately Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi presents the Academy’s yearly issue - “Opus XVII. Nordic Countries”.
Because of this website is positioned as Astrophilatelic resource, I would like to mention that in this issue of “Opus” there is an article on Astrophilately about 2 letters posted from Sweden to Russia and then delivered to the International Space Station (click here to see it).
The exhibition concept included an exhibition called the Remarkable Adventure with stamps targeted to children and families.
