In a world where digital communication is everywhere, the appeal of sending and receiving physical mail is still unmatched. Wooden postcards stand out as a creative and eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper cards, combining nostalgic charm with a contemporary flair.
This product is part of the exhibition collection that accompanies In Bloom: How Plants Changed Our World, a special exhibition on display at the Ashmolean Museum from 19 March - 16 August 2026.
Whilst the rather unexpected shaping of this particular postcard might prove slightly impractical for sending in the mail, this memento is made to be enjoyed. Cherish the standout shape of this wooden postcard, where the physical form playfully follows the outline of the original artwork that is the inspiration for the design.
This uniquely-shaped wooden postcard, crafted from thin slices of wood and adorned with a beautiful printed design depicting inspired by the In Bloom exhibition, are not only visually striking but also make the perfect keepsake; as a more robust, tangible, and premium memento, as opposed to a more usual paper postcard.
