A new season is fast approaching! These seasonal products from the Museum Store will get you in the fall spirit in no time.
Cozy Up
Nothing indicates the changing of seasons more than switching out your candles for new scents. The Museum Store has a wide variety of candles from local businesses. Find the scent that you want to burn all season long! Add the scent and warmth of freshly-brewed pumpkin or chai tea, and your house will be an autumn escape.
Whether you drink tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, we don’t judge – as long as you enjoy your drink in a fun, artsy mug! These mugs are minimalist but still fun, referencing famous artists and their well-known features.
Stay protected from the incoming chill with a new pair of socks. Choose from classic, organic pairs made by zkano or wacky, art-inspired ones as appropriate museum souvenirs. These socks come in all patterns and are perfect for cushioning and insulating your rainboots.
