Shopping is an art at Yale's museums

Some people view gift-buying as an art, while others see it more as a process of natural selection. Shoppers, whatever their philosophy, will find offerings galore at Yale's museum shops -- everything from one-of-a-kind treasures to stocking stuffers, books, calendars, stationery and jewelry. New merchandise is arriving daily, so repeat visits are sure to yield fresh discoveries.
