"Not only are you buying something special and different, but you're also supporting an institution, because the money all goes straight back into the museum," says Maria Kwong, director of retail enterprises at the Japanese American National Museum, or JANM.
"Museum stores have come a long way from being mere pit stops for postcards and key chains. Now, they're vibrant spaces where art, culture and commerce intersect," the article explains.
"This year, JANM is leveraging Museum Store Sunday by hosting a book launch for 'Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience,' a tribute to the work of cartoonist Sam Goto written by the artist's daughter," describing a special event.
Rob Hudson, director of retail operations at the Broad museum, states that those who shop at the gift shop can "take home a piece of the museum."
