Culture Vultures
Culture Label offers a one-stop online cultural shop.
We want to be grown ups when it comes to cultural outings. Take in some art, learn about a foreign culture, check out how dinosaurs mate, etc. But this tiny, nagging voice in our head still says, ‘At least there’s the gift shop’.
Let’s face it - after five hours of looking at stuff you can’t have, it’s hard not to want to cart something home, even if it is just the attractive guide (person, not pamphlet).

|
Bringing together the wares from over 60 cultural institutions, Culture Label offers an online portal into a huge virtual gift-shop, offering design savvy stuff as carefully curated as the exhibitions themselves.
The list of names is fairly extensive, from stalwarts like the V&A, Tate & ICA to lesser-knowns including The Royal Parks Foundation (great designer deckchairs), galleries like The Serpentine and Whitechapel offering the ‘own art’ initiative (letting you spread the cost with 0% interest), and forward thinking boutiques like Beyond The Valley.
Consumerists, us? Why yes, we are. And we’re loving our Anne Boleyn knickers, thanks for asking.
