The American Museum of Natural History

This holiday season, the American Museum of Natural History introduces a collection of charming gifts designed exclusively for the Museum. Take home a handsome 11-inch-tall snow globe featuring a mother polar bear and her playful cub, or perhaps deck the halls with a 3-inch-tall ornament in the shape of a shopping bag overflowing with Museum favorites such as dinosaurs, planets, and an astronaut. Portions of the sales from these special ornaments go to support the Himalayan Sherpas who remove and recycle waste left on the mountain.
