5 Great Gifts from the Getty Museum: Friday Finds

Looking for unique, inspiring and artist holiday gifts? Check out the world-famous Getty Museum gift shop online. Here are my top 5 favorite gifts from their newly revamped web site.

pocket-paint-set

 

This pocket paint set ($12.95) is a great gift for the aspiring artist. This set is easy to carry for impromptu painting sessions for adults or children.

 

 

volcano-set

 

 

I love giving science-based gifts and this volcano making kit ($12.00) looks like a great project for a rainy Saturday afternoon. In fact, I may get one for myself – I mean my grandson.

 

 

vase

 

 

This shimmery vase was created by glass artist ($110.00) Peter Vizzusi in a classic Venetian style.

This is a limited edition signed heirloom gift and requires 4 week lead time.

 

banned books jewelry

 

 

I Read Banned Books combines my love of jewelry and books. It’s certainly a statement bracelet ($20.00) and  a portion of your purchase goes to support the American Library Association of Intellectual Freedom.

Learn more about Banned Book Week from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2.

 

collection-vaseThe history of Greece can be seen in these miniature  terra cotta vases ($18.00 each).
A perfect gift for the collection, these were inspired by the extensive Grecian art collection at the Getty Villa.

 

 

Don’t forget The Getty museum tickets and memberships also make great gifts for families visiting or living in the greater Los Angeles area.

Many museums around the country have fabulous gift shops with gifts that not only the receiver will enjoy but also help the individual museums. Check out your local museums or go online to major metropolitan museum online stores.
