The shop also sells a vibrant selection of bronze ornaments, including delicate micro-sculptures inspired by Greek symbols, lovely jewelry pieces and charming wooden boats, which are perfect as traditional Greek Christmas decorations.

At EMST, the gift shop is an embodiment of the museum’s minimalist and urban aesthetic. Quirky hats, tote bags, and T-shirts with quirky phrases like “Art is everything” and “My parents dragged me to the museum, and all I got was this T-shirt” make light of the museum-going experience. For those interested in publications, the shop carries bilingual editions of major exhibition catalogs, including Modern Love and Statecraft, as well as ΦΙΞ/FIX 120+ Years of Architecture, a detailed history of the museum’s building, which once housed Greece’s first brewery. Sustainability is also emphasized here, with the EMST backpack line made from upcycled balcony awnings by Greek brand 3quarters, and a tasteful selection of ceramics by Trabala Studio and Mudlab.
