Science Culture Shop

Shopping has never been so inspiring!

This blog is about shopping for science related goods on the internet. Perhaps you are looking for educational science kits for your children, or ingenious gadgets to show your friends, or that special print from one of the world's unique collections. Science is more than school work and isolated research facilities - it is part of our culture and our world view. It is therefore fitting that the products of our cultural heritage should be reproduced as scientific artistic creations.

This project has grown out of our Cities of Science website. It became apparent that many science museums and centres had their own shop and that many of these shops held unique items specific to that museum's collection. Some have already marketed themselves online and have become popular whereas others seem to rely mainly on visitors. This site gives you the opportunity to discover these unique science products even if you are far away from the store, and perhaps never likely to visit it in person. We will also include other shops of potential interest, such as scientific instruments and antiquarian books.

Hope you enjoy browsing our science shops.
