Cultural and Creative Shops

The cultural and creative shops of the CGCM focus on “promoting canal culture and enhancing quality of life”. These shops blend elements from the museum’s collections with contemporary and innovative concepts to revive the splendor of cultural relics. Product categories include office supplies, household supplies, books and toys, clothing accessories, and food. The shops are committed to creating aesthetically pleasing cultural spaces and providing top-notch cultural services. Following the concept of making culture “dynamic” and spaces “vibrant”, the shops present carefully curated items in open, simply designed spaces that are bright and inviting. This approach transforms the shops into not just an extension of exhibitions but also a fantastic destination for the public to explore, experience, and shop.

The art shop on the first floor of the museum offers a diverse array of products, ranging from cultural relic-themed ornaments and trendy toys to artistic items. The temporary exhibition art shop on the third floor showcases elements from temporary exhibitions along with related products that blend artistry and practicality. The newly opened special exhibition shop in Gallery 5 not only features selected items from special exhibitions but also hosts immersive cultural and creative experience activities, such as fun flash mobs, creative check-ins, handmade crafts, and paintings for the public. The Yijuan Bookstore on the second floor presents a comprehensive exploration of the Grand Canal’s evolution along its entire water course, providing a free reading space that combines leisure and learning. Lastly, the cultural and creative kiosk at the South Square offers convenient sales services to the public while they wait in line.

At the CGCM’s cultural and creative shops, every item carries a unique narrative that enhances your visit, whether you admire it, share it as a gift, or keep it as a keepsake. These offerings provide a fresh way to engage with cultural relics, linking history with art, nature with human culture, and objects with spirit. They enable you to celebrate historical culture, treasure the splendor of the CGCM, marvel at the artistry of artifacts, and revel in the joy of life.
