The Museum Store at Louisiana Art & Science Museum is dedicated to offering items that delight, educate, and inspire visitors. Profits from the Museum Store help to support the Museum’s exhibitions and programs, which strive to create connections between objects, ideas, and experiences that offer unique perspectives on art & science. Don’t forget that members enjoy discounts in the Museum Store throughout the year! The Museum Store also offers merchandise inspired by current Irene W. Pennington Planetarium shows and exhibitions.
What makes a museum gift shop different from other gift shops?
Museum stores have a mission to support their institutions with merchandise that relates to the exhibitions and programs of the museum. So, at the Museum Store at Louisiana Art & Science Museum, you will find jewelry, books, and gifts that relate to the various art exhibitions we offer (which change in subject matter throughout the year); books and gifts relating to space (including space ice cream!); dinosaur merchandise and so much more. You might not recognize vendor names because we strive to find things that aren’t commonly found in general retail shops, assuring you that your purchase will be unusual and interesting.
Currently, in the Museum Store at LASM, you might discover Décor and more inspired by our Discoveries on the Nile: Exploring King Tut’s Tomb and the Amin Egyptian Collection exhibition. Browse our hand-blown glass ornaments and candle holders made in Egypt, from Dandara Co.; personalized sterling silver or 14 K gold cartouche necklaces (spell your name in hieroglyphs!) custom-made for you at the Khan el Khalili bazaar in Cairo, Egypt; fragrant spices and flavorful oils and balsamic vinegars that would be found in the Egyptian region from Red Stick Spice; and so much more!
With free gift wrapping always offered, the Museum Store at LASM is the perfect place to complete your holiday checklist. Your purchase will delight the recipient and serve double duty by supporting our treasured Museum. We appreciate your patronage!
