Here’s what we have our eyes on during Museum Store Sunday 👀

The BMA’s museum shop offers products by global fair trade artists and local makers. Feel good knowing your purchase supports Birmingham business and ethical practices across the globe.

1-3. If you know Birmingham is the best

Because why would you want to quit reppin’ the Magic City? Share your love of the ‘Ham with Birmingham-branded products. Plus, support local by purchasing Alabama-made goods like candles, jewelry and art.

4-6. Novelty items to add to the fam’s stocking

Whether you’re remembering the notorious RBG or miniaturizing your painting skills, there’s no way these novelty items won’t be a hit. Bonus—they work great as stocking stuffers or white elephant gifts.

7-9. When you love a BMA exhibit so much you want to take it home

If you were as in awe with Jacob Lawrence the American Struggle, Ways of Seeing or An Epic of Earth and Water: Clare Leighton and the “New England Industries” Series as we were, you’ll want to explore prints and books related to the exhibits.

10-12. Something special that’s not heart-shaped jewelry

From eye-popping designs to delicate baubles, the BMA has an incredible selection of jewelry that isn’t replicated anywhere else.

13-15. Original art that turns any space into its own exhibit

Create your own mini galleries when you take home original art and unique products for entertaining.

Don’t forget why Museum Store Sunday is important for the BMA

Can you believe we’re able to view incredible art from across the world, like Wall to Wall sponsored by PNC and Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle for FREE? I can’t imagine an easier way to give back than shopping for myself and others during Museum Store Sunday and beyond.
