On Sunday 27 November cultural venues in various countries will celebrate the annual Museum Shop Sunday, an international event celebrating the unique shops and products which play a vital role in helping arts, culture and heritage attractions to survive and thrive.
Museum Shop Sunday offers an alternative way to do your Christmas shopping and do some good at the same time:
Find original, design-led gifts – cultural shops offer designer homeware and unique gifts including quirky bespoke ranges and ethically sourced items. All your Christmas shopping dilemmas solved in one go!
Shop with a conscience – by shopping at your local museum or gallery, you are actively contributing to its future sustainability. You’re also helping to support small businesses and start-ups, as cultural shops work closely with independent suppliers and promote artisan makers. What better way to give back at Christmas?
*** We will also be offering 10% discount on everything in the Museum shop on the day. ***
Museum Shop Sunday is brought to you by the Association for Cultural Enterprises in partnership with the Museum Store Association based in Washington, DC and the Museum Shops Association of Australia and New Zealand. We train and connect entrepreneurial people in the not-for-profit cultural sector, helping them to generate sustainable income for their organisations, ensuring that heritage and culture continue to thrive.
