museums&MORE, a special section in Gift Shop® Plus, features the Philadelphia Zoo and Georgia Aquarium

Gift Shop Plus Spring 2021
Transformations By Debbie Eisele

A note from the editor of museums&MORE

The doldrums of winter are receding and spring, in many places, is in full swing! Thankfully, transformations are occurring everywhere and museums&MORE is hopeful that museums, zoos, aquariums and other destinations are either partially open, have timed ticketing, or may even be open on a normal operating basis — if not now, then soon.

If you are seeking a new mix to offer shoppers that spans multiple product categories, then take a look at some of the offerings featured in the Editor’s Picks on page 56.

Inside this edition, there is a strong focus on wildlife and the Product Gallery, on page 58, features fantastic finds that include a merchandise mix that features animals and sea life.

Turn to page 62 to learn more about the retail offerings at the Philadelphia Zoo, and what is new in retail at the Georgia Aquarium on page 66.

Enjoy the spring issue and the season itself!
