If you're looking for unique gifts this holiday season, the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette can help. Our museum shop offers one-of-kind items by artists represented in the museum's permanent collection, artists with current exhibits and the museum's faculty and advanced students. The gift shop, on the museum's second floor, is open during the museum's regular hours, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. daily.
The museum also offers
gift certificates that can be used for museum classes and for museum memberships.
And finally, this season the museum is
selling original art to the public. Works for sale are from a variety of media.
