North Carolina Museum of History Museum Shop

The Museum Shop of the North Carolina Museum of History is now on Glenwood Avenue in downtown Raleigh, having moved there while the museum’s own building is out of service. It sells gifts, goodies and a good deal of work handcrafted here in North Carolina.

The shop is worth a stop on its own, and plenty of customers come in without seeing an exhibit first. Buying something here sends money back to the museum, and the staff will wrap it up for you before you go.
