museum shop

Cultural venue retailer

A museum shop is a retail store inside a museum selling merchandise related to its collections—postcards, art prints, books, replica artifacts, and branded souvenirs.

The shop lets visitors take something home and generates revenue for the institution.

I picked up a calendar of Impressionist paintings at the museum shop.
