Valdez, AK, November 22, 2023 – On Friday and Saturday, November 24 – 25, 2023, the Museum Store at the Valdez Museum invites shoppers to participate in Museum Store Sunday, an annual holiday shopping day supporting cultural institutions and their stores. This year, more than 2,100 museum stores representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 25 countries and five continents will celebrate Museum Store Sunday and offer unique gifts for the holiday season—with all purchases supporting its parent institution and the artisans and craftspeople who create many of the gifts found in museum stores.

Join the Valdez Museum November 24th – 25th for our Museum Store Sunday sale! 10% all gift shop items!

Patricia Sampson, president of the Museum Store Association’s Board of Directors, continued, “Museum Store Sunday is an opportunity for the community to support their local cultural institutions simply by doing their holiday shopping at their museum stores. Patrons will find a collection of unique, educational and creative items in these museum stores – gifts you can’t find anywhere else, and gifts that everyone on their list will love. By shopping on Museum Store Sunday, you’ll not only find the perfect holiday gifts for your friends and family, but you can also know that your dollars are directly supporting the cultural institution’s mission and programs. It’s a way to shop consciously, shop smart and shop local.”

Shoppers can look forward to Museum Store Sunday as the global annual day to “Be a Patron” – and support museum stores and their missions worldwide. While there is only one Museum Store Sunday each year, everyone is encouraged to “Be a Patron” of museums and museum stores all year round.
