Books, Gift shopping in USA

  1. A

    MoMA Design & Book Store

    The flagship store at the Museum of Modern Art is a savvy spot to souvenir shop in one fell swoop. Aside from stocking must-have books (from art and architecture tomes to pop culture readers and kids' picture books), you'll find art prints and posters, edgy homewares, jewelry, bags and one-of-a-kind knick-knacks. For furniture, lighting and MUJI merchandise, head to the MoMA Design Store across the street.

  3. C

    SFMOMA Museum Store

    Design fetishists may have to be pried away from the glass shelves and display cases, which brim with cereal bowls that look like spilt milk, Pantone color-swatch espresso cups and watches with a face to match Mario Botta's black-and-white SFMOMA facade. Contemporary art books will keep aspiring collectors absorbed for hours, and kids will be entranced by William Wegman's video of dogs spelling out the alphabet.
