Sale: Frye Museum Shop
This Friedrich August von Kaulbach rendering of Spanish dancer and actress Rosario Guerrero is neither on sale nor for sale at the Frye Art Museum’s Pre-Inventory gift shop sale. But since the entire museum is free, you can go say hello to it aft
Where: Frye Art Museum Gift Shop
What: It’s okay if, for you, a day at the museum usually means a day in the museum shop. In fact, we all but sanctioned skipping the walls and halls for the book shelves, gifts, and accessories in this round-up of Seattle’s best museum shopping. Included therein is the Frye Art Museum, who, as of yesterday, began prepping for their annual inventory count by trying to get rid of it. That means stuff’s on sale.
What kind of stuff? Big beautiful art catalogs and books, toys to learn and experiment with, and gifts that reference and play off of past exhibits and conceptual art themes. Is September too early to start shopping for the holidays? Not when these kinds of goods are knocked down between 25 and 75 percent.
And don’t forget: The museum is always free, as is the parking lot across the street, so maybe you’ll want to leave some time for those halls and walls afterall.
When: Now through September 19, during regular business hours.
