As a shopping editor, I pride myself on being a great gift-giver, and one of my best-kept secrets for finding unique presents is to scope out museum gift shops. From artisan-created goods to niche-but-beautiful books, museums tend to stock things you wouldn’t find at other stores. Now, the Smithsonian is bringing all the charm and treasures of a museum gift shop to its online store. From statement pieces to captivating finds, the range of products and price points ensures you’ll be able to find something for everyone on your list.

Dive into a curated collection inspired by the Smithsonian Institution's artifacts, archives, and exhibitions, and discover truly unique products meticulously crafted by global artisans. Every purchase on contributes 100% of its proceeds to support the Smithsonian Institution.
