Visit the museum’s gift nook and take a little piece of Art-History-Science home with you! We have a wide selection of items for all ages of museum visitors.

Our younger guest can sample a packet of Astronaut Ice Cream. Or maybe collect some of our popular shark’s teeth or arrowheads? We also have a variety of educational and old fashion toys, marionette puppets, stone filled pencils, and many more fun items.

For our history and science guests we feature many informative books, some by local authors like Robert Haltiner (The Town That Wouldn’t Die) and Mike Cornelius (Hubbard Lake). How about the Genealogical Society’s “Alpena Sesqucentenial”?  We also carry a large selection of Maritime books and guides that are focused on our area.

 We even have exclusive Besser Museum items, take the memory of the museum home with you in the form of an Alpena Flyer T-shirt or stylish coffee cup.

 

How about hanging a museum quality copy of one of the museum fine art prints on your wall? That’s right, we have chosen two amazing works of art from our collection and had them digitally scanned and printed on artist grade paper. Now you can own a copy of Salvador Dali’s “Dante Rewakes” of your very own, or how about a very rare 1834 colored ink map of  Michigan? Both are wonderful quality copies very suitable for framing.
