New Etsy Collection At The AMNH

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is, hands-down, one of the most inspiring spots in New York City. Given the impressive array of natural wonders and treasures on display for all to see at AMNH, it’s no wonder that Etsy, the online marketplace for vintage and handmade goods, has teamed up with the museum to offer a very special collection of gifts that are inspired by the world-class collections there.

Plus, this is the very first time that Etsy has collaborated with any museum to create specifically-designed original products–making the launch of the new collection doubly exciting.

The collection, which launched last week in a dedicated section of the museum’s gift shop as well as online, features an eclectic mix of gifts and trinkets from 22 Etsy artists. Each product is inspired and tied into a specific piece of inspiration from the museum itself–like a pop-up birthday card featuring a t-rex silhouette and soap shaped like bird eggs and precious gems–and the collection offers items for kids and parents alike!

We’re swooning for just about everything on offer in the new collection, but we’ve taken a moment to share our top 10 picks!
