The holiday season is upon us once again with Thanksgiving next week and then only 29 days till Christmas! The Ava Gardner Museum Gift Shop has great, unique gifts for the classic film buffs and Ava fans in your life. While this year has been strange and challenging, the joy of gift giving remains. 

Buying from our gift shop also supports our mission to preserve our collection of priceless artifacts relating to Ava's career and private life, and to share Ava's story through exhibits, physical and virtual. Find some highlights of our gift shop below and browse the full shop online or in store at the Ava Gardner Museum. Stay tuned as some of the items seen below will be added and restocked soon!

Books about Ava's life and her Hollywood career make great gifts for the bookworms in your life.

Virtual Items

It wouldn't be a 2020 gift guide if it didn't include some virtual products, would it? Gift a classic film fan (or yourself) with admission to our virtual exhibit about Ava's role in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman. Get a great view of the artifacts currently on display at the museum (plus a couple of extra features) from the comfort of your own home. A great gift for those who cannot visit the museum!
