Our Store. Our Story.

Here for you—and nature—since 1874.

When you Shop The Nat, every dollar supports our mission to protect and preserve this amazing place we call home. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1874. 

While the in-museum store is currently closed, our new ecommerce platform invites nature lovers and gift givers to purchase unique apparel, accessories, toys, gifts, souvenirs and more. 

Our commitment to the natural world extends beyond the artwork you see on our merchandise. We are making every effort to source items made in the U.S.A., and are prioritizing products made from eco-friendly or sustainably sourced materials. Additionally, many of our items are produced “on demand”—manufactured and shipped by the manufacturer only once ordered by a consumer—which helps reduce waste and excess inventory. 

The world we live in is an amazing place. We want everyone to understand it better, enjoy it more, and love it as much as we do, so we will all protect it for the future. Every dollar you spend here stays here, contributing to that vision. And that’s a gift to us all.
