Museum Store of the Month: Idea House 3 at Walker Art Center

Drumroll, please! We hereby name the freshly redesigned, rethought and reopened store at the Walker Art Center our Museum Store of the Month! A high-design concept store inside a high-design museum (the latter designed by Herzog & de Meuron), the store, now known as Idea House 3, is a super-vibrant space that champions the brightest new ideas in design alongside an ever-evolving selection of smart, well curated books on art, photography, and of course, design.⁠
