Arbos for MUSE in Trento: A Sustainable Museum Merchandising Project

The MUSE in Trento, the renowned Science Museum designed by Renzo Piano, is a must-visit destination for anyone fascinated by nature, mountains, and science. With its six floors dedicated to nature, technology, and sustainability, the MUSE offers a rich and immersive experience. It’s easy to be captivated while exploring its stunning collections of botany, zoology, and mineralogy.

Eco-Friendly Stationery by Arbos for the MUSE Bookshop

Now there’s one more reason to visit the MUSE: the eco-friendly stationery collection designed and produced by Arbos for the museum’s bookshop. In this collaboration, we aimed to create a collection that best represents the blend of sustainability and design. We used materials such as recycled paper, straw paper, and Ricuoio®, combined with Renzo Piano’s original sketches illustrating the design phase of the MUSE building.

The result is a collection of notebooks, journals, and notepads that not only celebrates the beauty of design and science but also provides writing and drawing enthusiasts with high-quality products that embody the value of sustainability.

Unique Design and Commitment to the Environment

Every item in this museum merchandising collection is more than just a tool for taking notes or sketching—it becomes a tangible symbol of MUSE’s commitment to environmental conservation. We are particularly proud of the statement that MUSE chose to include on every product: “By choosing Arbos, MUSE emphasizes its commitment to nature and environmental conservation.”
This phrase underscores the value and meaning of our collaboration, transforming each notebook, journal, and notepad into something more: a manifesto of love for nature and responsibility toward our planet.

Why Choose Arbos for Museum Merchandising

Let’s be clear: we don’t produce souvenirs. For us, museum merchandising is much more than that. Our products, made from recycled materials, combine beauty, design, and sustainability. Every museum has a unique story to tell, and at Arbos, we work to translate that story into bespoke design objects that are fully customizable and crafted to reflect the museum’s visual and cultural identity.

Our collaboration with MUSE in Trento is just one example of what Arbos can achieve in museum merchandising. If you’re a museum or cultural institution looking to integrate sustainability and authenticity into your product offerings, Arbos is the perfect partner to bring a unique and meaningful collection to life.
