The Museum Shop has reopened with a brighter, refreshed design that feels modern yet still carries the folk-inspired spirit of AFAM. Visitors can browse an expanded selection of textiles, décor, jewelry, books, and gifts — many crafted by artisans — while supporting the museum with every purchase. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM at 2 Lincoln Square, the shop also offers shipping and in-store pickup, making it easy to bring home a piece of folk art while enjoying the Museum’s current exhibition, An Ecology of Quilts, on view through March 1, 2026.

AFAM Open with Renovations Still Underway

As of September 26, 2025, the American Folk Art Museum’s fall exhibition and newly refreshed Shop are now open to the public through a temporary entrance on Columbus Avenue. The Museum has embarked on its most significant renovation in over 30 years, with upgrades to galleries, offices, restrooms, and the Shop, plus a redesigned façade to debut in spring 2026 — timed with the nation’s 250th anniversary. Supported generously by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, these improvements will transform AFAM into a renewed cultural hub while continuing its mission to celebrate folk and self-taught art.
