Museum shop

A museum shop is a store that is very close to the museum that you go to. It has lots of things that are related to the museum that you went to. This is a fun place to go when you are done looking at all the cool things in the museum.

If you went to a dinosaur museum, for example, the shop might have things like little toy dinosaurs that you can play with, coloring books with pictures of dinosaurs to color, and even real dinosaur bones that you can take home with you!

If you went to an art museum, the shop might have books with pictures of the paintings you saw or even little replicas of some of the statues that you saw.

Some museum shops have fun things like hats or tee shirts with pictures of dinosaurs or famous paintings on them. These are called souvenirs and you can take them home with you to remember all the fun things you did at the museum.

Overall, the museum shop is a really fun place to go when you visit a museum. It has lots of cool things for you to look at and even take home with you!
