Christmas on the Art UK Shop
To help take the stress out of Christmas shopping, we've compiled a selection of the finest gifts from the Art UK Shop.
The shop is a fantastic way to support public art collections – your favourite museums and galleries up and down the country. The money from sales goes directly back to collections.
Whether you need a stocking filler to brighten up Christmas morning or you're looking for something special for the art lover in your life, this is your one stop shop.
The perfect stocking filler
If socks and chocolate oranges just won't do this year, you'll love this selection of superb stocking fillers.
Art Oracles cards
A favourite with the Art UK team is Art Oracles – a card game offering helpful mantras from some of the world's most popular artists. Take inspiration from Paul Gauguin who encourages us to 'exaggerate the subtle' or take Jean Cocteau's advice and 'find your future in the past'.
