Shopping at The Met with Vyna
The Metropolitan Museum Gift Store“To the making of many books there is no end…” And The Metropolitan Gift Shop is an authority on supplying the world’s most outstanding reading materials. After a recent visit to the New American Wing Galleries for Paintings, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts, I decided to commemorate the occasion by visiting the gift shop and adding a few more books to my home library. I’m in the process of doing some research for a garden that I’m designing, and dedicating to the memory of my mother, and found the Gardening section had the right amount of variety of designs and styles which were quite helpful. In addition, I picked up a number of books ranging from architecture, fashion, and decorative arts. Would you like to find out exactly which ones were my favorites? -
Artful Gifts with A Past
Sonia Delaunay’s fashionable gifts from The Met StoreNow is the the time to get a head start on your holiday shopping. After all, immediately following Labor Day comes a barrage of holidays, and if you love the arts, and have some of those hard to please artsy friends, we suggest you try the shopping experience from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual holiday catalogue. Once we looked through its pages we were delighted to find merchandise collections inspired by and evocative of objects in the Museum’s vast holdings.
Like the previous years before, The Met has continued a tradition that began in 1870, their merchandising staff work closely with art historians, master craftspeople, and responsible manufacturers to assure that each of their publications, reproductions, and adaptations offers superior design, quality and value. These holiday introductions (and many more) are also available at store.metmuseum.org and in the Met’s retail locations: 1000 Fifth Avenue (within the Museum) and Rockefeller Center (15 West 49th Street). -
