Museum Merchandise
If I say “museum product,” you might think of a magnet with a reproduction of a painting or a pen with the museum’s logo. But for us at Arbos, it’s much more than just a souvenir: it’s a keepsake that holds the emotions of a visit and, every time it’s used, brings that unique experience back to life. Imagine notebooks, journals, notepads, or accessories that become true ambassadors of the museum and its cultural heritage. Beautiful, sustainable objects with a design that reflects the identity of your museum.
Why Choose Arbos for your Museum Merchandise?
Choosing Arbos for your museum merchandise means investing in products that combine beauty, quality, and sustainability, enhancing the visitor experience and making it even more memorable.
Here are a few reasons why our museum products can make a difference:
Guaranteed Sustainability
All our items are made from recycled materials such as paper, straw paper, and leather, with a reduced environmental impact certified by our B Corp status. Every time you purchase an Arbos product, you support a production model that respects the planet.
Tailored Design
Every museum has a unique story to tell, and at Arbos, we work to translate that story into design objects. Whether it’s straw paper notebooks or spiral notepads made of Ricuoio®, our products are fully customizable and crafted to reflect the museum’s visual and cultural identity.
Artisanal Expertise Made in Italy
Every Arbos item is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, combining Italian manufacturing traditions with contemporary creativity.
Our successful collaborations
Here are some selected museum merchandising projects to inspire you in creating your own personalized eco-friendly collection. We excel at capturing the uniqueness of a museum and making it resonate through our products, creating items that can become part of the daily lives of those who love beauty, art, and culture.
Over the years, we have collaborated with numerous Italian museums and cultural institutions, helping them design merchandise that attracts and engages visitors.
Some examples?
MUSE (Trento): For their 10th anniversary, we recently created two collections: the ICONS line, featuring colorful notebooks dedicated to nature and space for children, and the BLACK line, elegant and refined, designed for adults.
FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano): We developed a merchandise line for some of Italy’s most prestigious historic sites, including the Castle of Manta, Villa del Balbianello, and the Olivetti store in Venice.
Jewish Museum of Venice: We crafted two collections: one in recycled leather for adults and another in colorful straw paper for younger visitors, inspired by the rich history of the Jewish community.
Museum Network of Massa Carrara: We created a collection of products that highlight the unique features of each museum in the network while emphasizing the interconnectedness of the network as a single, cohesive “diffuse museum.”
Royal Museums of Turin: For the exhibition “Leonardo da Vinci: Drawing the Future”, we produced sketchbooks featuring reproductions of some of the most famous drawings by the great genius.
