Get ready. It’s coming. Museum Store Sunday 2026.
NHSM is thrilled to join over 2,200 museums across the globe for Museum Store Sunday, a day dedicated to purposeful shopping and community support.
Why Shop NHSM’s Museum Store Sunday? Because every purchase fuels our mission. Revenue from this event helps keep museum admission free and program fees low or zero—ensuring that education remains accessible to all. This is our fifth year participating, and it’s become a cornerstone fundraiser that supports exhibits, outreach, and conservation efforts year-round.
What You’ll Discover:
- The Big Book Sale – Nature and science titles, new and gently loved
- Fossils Galore – From dinosaur coprolites to trilobites and shark teeth
- Minerals That Dazzle – Crystals that glow, shimmer, and span the periodic table
- Beanie Baby Bonanza – Every creature imaginable, from rat to butterfly, crab to caribou
- And much much more.
These items are affordable, organic, natural, and in some cases, over 300 million years old. You won’t find them on Amazon—and you won’t forget the experience.
