Tampa Bay History Center offers members 20% off on Museum Store Sunday, Nov. 30

TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 4, 2025) — On Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025, the Museum Store at the Tampa Bay History Center will offer current members 20% off during the ninth annual Museum Store Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.

The 20% members-only discount applies to most items in the store. Fine art, jewelry and consignment items are excluded. The offer may not be combined with other discounts.

Purchases at the Museum Store directly support the Tampa Bay History Center by funding exhibitions, educational programming and conservation efforts. Sales also help sustain artisans and small businesses across the Tampa Bay area.

Participation in Museum Store Sunday has tripled since the Museum Store Association launched the initiative in 2017. The global advocacy campaign’s slogan, “Shop with Purpose,” highlights its mission to promote economic sustainability and cultural engagement for museums and their communities.

“People want to shop locally but often don’t know where to start,” said Colleen Higginbotham, president of the Museum Store Association and deputy director for visitor experience at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia.

“Museum stores make it easy by offering artisan-made goods year-round, serving as a one-stop destination for meaningful gifts, from birthdays to holidays and everything in between. Purchases uplift creators while enabling museums to thrive in the communities they serve.”

While Museum Store Sunday is a single-day event, many shoppers return throughout the year because their purchases support a museum’s educational mission. Approximately 90% of Museum Store Sunday shoppers say they are more likely to shop at museum stores year-round for that reason, according to the Museum Store Sunday 2024 Shopper Survey.
