About Museum Edition

We believe curiosity deserves to be worn.

Museum Edition is for people who like to look twice.

A museum can change the way you see something. A painting you've walked past before suddenly catches your attention. A building makes you wonder who designed it. You read the little plaque beside an object and, five minutes later, you're still thinking about it.

That's the feeling we're interested in.

Museum Edition makes apparel and objects inspired by museums, architecture, history, design, and the places and ideas that stay with us. Sometimes the inspiration is obvious. Sometimes it's tucked into the typography, the colors, or a small detail you might not notice at first.

We like things that have a story behind them. Old posters. Great buildings. Museum labels. Beautiful type. The odd little detail that makes you stop in the middle of a walk and take a closer look.

We want to make things that feel like they belong in the imaginary gift shop at the end of a very good exhibition. Things you'd be happy to take home — and maybe a little reluctant to give away.

And, yes, we believe it's possible for something to be both interesting and fun.

Museum Edition is for the people who read the plaque.

The people who notice the building.

The people who wander through bookstores and libraries, save the ticket stub, and occasionally take the long way home because something caught their eye.

If that sounds like you, welcome.

Wear your curiosity.
