Looking for a Truly Beautiful Face Mask? Well, Museums Around the World Are Selling Art-Inspired Ones… and Some Aren’t TOO Weird

Tired of the same old surgical face masks? Try a stylish, safe, and artful mask from these museum gift shops around the world.

Tom of Finland Face Masks are all the rage, you guys.

In 2020, the must-have accessory is, without question, the face mask.

Even a quick trip to the store is impossible without a handy face covering (and maybe a plastic face shield, Purell to-go bottle, and disposable gloves).

But what to do when you’re sick of the same-old tired surgical look?

Luckily, museum gift shops (and they are struggling right now) are getting in on the action, with some flashy, fantastic face masks. Even institutions that are still closed to visitors are selling them!

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best.
