The Bookshop

Looking for a distinctive gift, cutting-edge artists' publications, or simply the definitive books on books? Our shop is curated to inspire. 

And let’s be honest: you would expect nothing less from the oldest book museum in the world. This is the destination for anyone seeking something extraordinary for a true bibliophile. Or for your own shelf, of course. 

We carry titles that are established classics, alongside those destined to become them. That might mean a milestone printing of a literary masterpiece, or a strictly limited edition artist's book. 

We are drawn to publications that offer a fresh lens on the world. Whether that perspective comes from a seasoned philosopher, a canonized author, or an emerging artist fresh from the academy: if it is an exceptional book, it earns a place on our shelves. 

Expect tailored, personal advice as you browse. We are genuinely here to help you find the right piece. We celebrate the book as a tactile, versatile medium with a collection we stand behind entirely. This is where rich heritage meets contemporary design and experimental publishing. 

Feel free to step inside; the shop is freely accessible and independent of museum admission. You are bound to discover something you didn't even know you were looking for.
