Not-So-Hidden Treasures for gift-seekers
at Yale's museum shops

Like the collections they are associated with, Yale's museum shops are filled with items from around the world that range from the classic to the contemporary, folk art to fine art, quirky to quaint.

This diversity makes the museum shops virtual treasure-houses for shoppers looking for the perfect gift for that special someone (or perhaps, a special treat for themselves).

All of Yale museum shops carry merchandise that is pocketbook-friendly, as well as more high-end, one-of-a-kind pieces. All carry an assortment of jewelry, books, stationery and holiday-themed items. And all have websites with a selection of offerings for online shoppers.

Furthermore, all are just steps away from some of the finest collections of artworks and natural history items in the world, so weary shoppers can escape from the gift-seeking-grind for a time and contemplate some of Yale's treasures after finding their own.
