California Academy of Sciences
(see pp152-3) , one of the
leading science and natural
history museums in America.
Here aspiring naturalists can
purchase dinosaur models,
realistic rubber animals, and
gifts that are environmentally
friendly. Merchandise based on
the Academy's Far Side Gallery,
which displays the work of
cartoonist Gary Larsen, is also
for sale. Nearby, there is also
a fine assortment of items at
the de Young Museum shop.
At Lincoln Park the Legion of
Honor Museum Store
(see pp158-9) offers many
beautiful selections based on
current exhibitions.
The Asian Art Museum shop
in the Civic Center is well
stocked with books and objects
that reflect the museum's area
of interest including ceramics,
basketry, textiles, jewelry,
sculpture, paintings and
prints, and furniture.
There is a great deal to
intrigue young scientists at the
unique Exploratorium Store
(see p94) . Here they will find
all the equipment they need
for scientific experiments,
games based on topics ranging
from astronomy to zoology,
and how-to-do-it books and
toys. In the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art (see
pp120-23) the San Francisco
MOMA MuseumStore sells
a wide range of beautifully
printed art books, posters,
greetings cards, and
colorful T-shirts.
Gump's (see p118) is so
splendid it could almost be
mistaken for a museum. Many
of the items are American or
European antiques, limited
editions, or one of a kind. Well-
heeled residents and visitors
come here for furniture, fine art,
china, crystal, jewelry, and gifts.
