Always that place where anyone can find something - be it unique, beautiful, that something you couldnt find anywhere else.Some stuff really hits the spot of I never knew I needed that but I must have it now and sometimes its just a nice place to visit and browse.

Good place to spend time and keep yourself cool or warm. But dont spend money here, it is stupid. Whatever you want to buy, you get it on Ebay, Amazon or taobao.

Variety of interesting designs! Prices are quite high. As a student traveling with my own savings, I wished they have more small gifts with affordable price. I found some of those, but they were very limited.

Unique and interesting selection of items. Home goods, jewelry, small gifts, and some famous art inspired items round up the type of stuff in this store. Be aware, the prices are a little high, but par for the area in terms of quality.

Really interesting things for sale! Spent a good hour exploring what they have, lots of things I havent seen elsewhere. Its located outside MoMA but just a short walk. Worth checking out if you like funky things, including cooking utensils and pots, backpacks, etc.

The MoMA Design Store is a delight. Great for gifts or to find something unique for yourself. I particularly like their holiday card sets, and always pick mine up there. The store has quite a selection of funky and fresh items that strike a contemporary style.

I dont usually write negative reviews, but here we go. Dont order here if you need your item sooner than 3 months. I ordered two dishes at the beginning of December as a Christmas present for a family member (3-7 day shipping). They didnt come.When I called, they said my order was processed normally, but then they never showed. This put me in the awkward position of not having anything to give this family member on Christmas day.Finally, after Christmas I managed to get in touch with customer service and was told it is backordered to FEBRUARY (three months later), and they never informed me. After I complained, the only restitution I was offered was a refund of the shipping fee.

This store is amazing and expensive gadgets but if you like art and unique staff, youll love it. I had a great experience playing, seeing and learning. Personal that works there are friendly and front of the store you will see MoMA museum. Dont forget to bring your student ID.

Great place to browse and even pick up a few practical or shelf-only objects. Separate from the MOMA gallery store. Worth the trip.

Nice store. But lack of products that are created by artists. Some if the items you could order via Amazon. LOL.

Loved this place. Lots of quirky and unique items. Unfortunately, most items that I liked were a little too expensive for gift giving. However, having said that, I did find many items that were affordable to give as stocking stuffers.

The MoMA Store carries a lot of neat, interesting and well-designed decorative and household items. Most of the products have an interesting artistic element to them to appeal to any pop art enthusiast. Things can be a little pricey but well worth it for unique items.

Great if expensive stuff. Perfect place to buy gifts. Everything is beautifully designed. But no posters or books. For that, head to the museum.

The gift/book Design Store in the Museum of Modern Art has wonderful, unique gifts. It especially has great gift, interactive toys for children. The toys foster creativity and imagination. The gift for homes are also unique and unusual. Save some of your time at the museum to wander through the MoMA Design and Book Store.

Great stop for gifts and accessories. But for some things like posters and magnets and bookmarks and t-shirts you need to head across the street into MoMA itself.

The store itself has some lovely things. But, this year it is, without doubt, the most disorganized store I have ever dealt with. As a member, I was offered a discount on my order. The Online Store would not accept it. The lovely person with whom I spoke on the phone to try again to place the order could not figure out toregister the discount. She put me on with another nice person who promised to sort it out and has tried for days with no luck. Meanwhile, I received a full-priced order with an item I did not order included in it.AND I will have to,pay to return the item I did not order because no alternative has been offered.All of this has taken hours and hours and has been upsetting to me and to the nice people who work for the Design Store. They are frantically trying to sort out and new badly designed and faulty computer system.All of this has cost me time and money.

I was astonished by the attitude of the cashier in MOMA Design Store today. I bought two art books for two different friends who live outside of the country. The cashier checked two books together and put them in one bag. I asked for an extra bag and explained the reason for her patiently but the cashier rejected me, she kept saying it is not a gift bag. I explained to her again the books are bought for TWO different person. The cashier still said “ No”. I never thought this thing will happen in MOMA, the world top art museum. Except that, The store itself is amazing.

It’s a gift shop. If you want art, it’s across the road. Lots of quirky gift items. You pay well over the odds but the advantage is you can buy all your presents in one stop.

One of my favorite stores to browse for gifts and nifty tools around the house. The selection rotates regularly with interesting, new products regularly. A little less selection than the SoHo location, but convenient if you work in midtown.

It is must after paying a visit to the MOMA Museum. You can recreate yourself with many trendy designed objects and devices. Even if you are not in the mood for buying it is worth the walk around.

The MOMA design store is 100% better than your typical museum gift shop. With a collaboration with the students of the MFA Products of Design program the products here are beautiful, fun and innovatively made. If you ever need to buy a gift for a offbeat relative or friend and are in NYC this is the shop to go. Also try to visit the downtown location as its the larger sister store with more selection.

Review №71

They charge a premium for shipping, and then use the cheapest possible way of shipping the item, which has Fed Ex handing the item off to your local post office - which in my case meant nothing but delay. Shockingly poor for a place of quality and one that handles quality merchandise. It just shows poor execution and disregard for customer satisfaction. Perhaps they might investigate the success of a company called Amazon that learned that a poor shipping experience leads to disappointed customers who do not return.

Great place to find unexpected gifts. I love the housewares they have, so many of them are cleverly design and make you ask why didnt anyone ever think of this before? The book selection here is diverse and extensive. They have a lot of fun and interactive kids items. Some of the items are astronomically expensive, but theres a lot of affordable things mixed in there.

If youre a unique gift-giver, the MoMA Design store is a must-shop. Not only do they have unusual staples, but each exhibition that comes through leaves its mark on their store offerings. Last year for Mothers Day I found Cindy Sherman postcards that I sent to my sister and mother. Biggest hit of the gifting year.

If you plan to shop at the MOMA design store, BEWARE. The products are great, but the online service is truly awful.This is my sad experience :I ordered Xmas gifts for the family on Nov 17th 2017, and selected “priority shipping”. Despite my repeated online requests, I received no updates on shipping status for 20days (tracking function was not working either). Finally, they deigned to informme that my delivery would not arrive till MARCH 2018 (!) because 2 items were not available till then and the shipment had to be sent in one go!Huh? Whatever happened to flexibility and common sense in the modern age? So my kids would receive Xmas gifts 3 months late!The shipper claimed the website warned about the 2 back order items (if they had, I did not notice).And anyway, why sell back order stuff?Why not place a warning at the cash-out site, “your delivery may only arrive in 4 MONTHS TIME”?Why accept money when you are out of stock?Why provide a “priority” shipping function, when you are not able to deliver it?So I asked whether they could send the available items first and I pay the extra, they have ignored me.So if you plan to use this website, BEWARE.. else you may also - as I did - suffer disappointment, poor communication, and worst of all, unacceptable delay.
