SOUVENIR COUNTER

 redusouvenircntr.jpg (38312 bytes)

Shop for goodies at the Museum's souvenir kiosk, situated at the very entrance to the indoor galleries.

Housed in a shack gaily painted on a cream background, the souvenir counter offers an exciting and interesting variety of momentoes, books, audio visual media and interesting odds and ends.

The quality and variety of gifts and novelties offered at the souvenir counter has undergone a lot of change in recent years, and the merchandise on sale is much more attractive, offers more variety,  and is of a better quality as compared to not very long ago.

Although it is beyond the scope of this website to keep track of the latest items on offer and the current prices, the lists that follow   will give you a very broad idea as to what to expect.

For the latest product range and prices, please consult the official NRM website.

PLEASE NOTE THAT CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. Terms of payment is by cash only.
