About British Museum Shop
Gifts with a story behind them
Most products start from something in the galleries. Ancient Egyptian artefacts and Japanese woodblock prints are typical starting points. There are replicas of well-known sculptures, jewellery with patterns taken from ancient cultures, scarves and other clothing, and art prints. Homeware covers both practical and decorative pieces.
For readers and younger visitors
The book selection spans art history, mythology and catalogues from exhibitions, with a separate run of children's titles. Educational games and toys suit children who enjoy history.
