Any person who enjoys visiting museums and shopping at their stores is a patron. When you make a purchase at a museum store, you actively show your support of museums and become a “patron”. While there is only one Museum Store Sunday each year, we encourage you to “Be A Patron” of museum stores throughout the year.
Museum stores perform integral and multifaceted work for their institutions – from earning income and extending mission-related programs, to visitor engagement through store products, programs, and experiences. Find museum stores near you and around the country with our handy locator.
We are delighted to feature a gallery of online museum stores participating in Museum Store Sunday. Shopping online is another great way to celebrate museum stores across the country and around the world. Browse online museum stores by museum type for easy online shopping.
Museums foster appreciation and knowledge of art, nature, culture, science, and history. When you purchase a gift from their museum store, you help to sustain the museum’s service to their community and the public. Be A Patron and shop Museum Store Sunday and at museum stores all year round.
Museum Store Sunday offers a special shopping experience in one-of-a-kind stores, showcasing broad assortments of highly curated, unique, mission-related gifts.
From books to jewelry to home accessories, stationery and children’s products, there is always something for everyone. Shop knowing you are supporting the missions and programs of each participating museum and cultural institution.
Revenues generated by museum stores are deposited into the operating budgets of their parent organizations, providing economic sustainability for the museum and cultural engagement for the community.
