Art Shop

Museum gift shops are way better than the ones at the mall, selling a creative array of jewelry and scarves, plates and bowls, toys and games, candles and ornaments. And, of course, the museum shop forte: the art book. If you still can’t decide what to give your certain someones this season, there’s always the gift that lasts all year long: a museum membership.
