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.
We’re excited to welcome you back to the Museum Shop, now reopened with a refreshed design that makes browsing even more inviting. The new look features a brighter, more open layout with thoughtfully arranged displays that highlight the artistry and stories behind every piece. While the space feels renewed and modern, it still carries the same warm, folk-inspired spirit that reflects the heart of the American Folk Art Museum.
Inside, you’ll find an expanded selection of textiles, seasonal décor, jewelry, books, and gifts — many created by artisans who share in the museum’s mission to celebrate craft and storytelling. The shop continues to honor its roots, blending timeless folk traditions with contemporary design to create a shopping experience that feels both fresh and familiar. Every purchase supports the museum, helping preserve and share the beauty of folk art with the community.
The Museum Shop is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Whether you’re stopping in after exploring the galleries or planning a special visit just for the shop, we can’t wait to share this renewed space with you. Come see the new look, find your next treasure, and experience the folk charm you know and love in a whole new way.
