I'm a huge fan of museum gift shops. When I was still writing for the Chicago Tribune, I helped with one of their gift guides, and it was all about shopping at different museums.

I think it was popular. Museum gift shops often have really cool, quirky things. A few years ago when the Museum of Contemporary Art had a Virgil Abloh exhibit, they had amazing gifts (and they have a lot of great gifts) tied to the exhibit. As you can imagine those sold like hot cakes.

I can imagine! I remember splurging on a fabulous pair of earrings when we went to the museum together. Sadly, I lost them :(

Love museum gift shops too - and the blue skies umbrella has a terrific Magritte-y vibe.
