Museum Store Sunday is a global annual event celebrating the stores and their mission-related products which play a vital role in helping arts, cultural and nonprofit attractions educate and thrive. We encourage patrons to shop with conscience and purpose to support their local cultural institutions (especially while many museums recover after extended COVID-19 closures), and to find unique and educational gifts for their loved ones.

Since its launch in 2017, this annual museum store advocacy event has been growing and gaining global recognition. This year, more than 2,000 museums world-wide will participate – from all 50 states, 24 countries, and five continents!

Join us on November 26, 2023 to celebrate Museum Store Sunday. If you haven’t done so already, register today!
