DECEMBER 2005

‘Tis the Season to be Revolutionary


Skip the tired downtrodden mall scene, comrade. Visiting the Wolfsonian’s new Dynamo Museum Shop & Café is a holiday shopping coup.

 

Enter The Dynamo and discover one of the largest, most inspired and eclectic collections of unique gift ideas, books, toys, jewelry, fashions and accessories, each drawing on the museum’s collection for inspiration:

 

 

Reproductions of toys by Alexander Calder, originally designed c. 1895-1986 • Exclusive Issey Miyake Collection scarves and accesories, Pleate Please and Collection, c. 2004 • Housewares by Alessi, c. 2005 • Bouroullec Brothers’ “La Valise” Laptop Bag, Polymer Resin, c. 2003 • Banned erotica by the Marquis de Sade, Leather Bound Hardcover, originally published c. 1740-1814 • Slinky Dog Pull Toy, c. 1945 • President George W. Bush Talking Action Figure, c. 2005 • Ché Guevara Plushie Doll, c. 2005 • Bling-Bling, a laser-carved gold crucifix fashioned from montage of 20th century corporate logos, c. 2004

 

“Let them eat tapas!”

Revolutions spark appetites. After all of your selfless marching around, indulge with a little bon morsel from our internationally inspired café that’s part espresso bar and part enoteca. The Dynamo menu features small plates, table shares, sandwiches and sweets. So sit. Sip your mint-infused tea in a space infused by the mission of the museum. The focal point of the shop and café is a large library shelving system from the late 19th century similar to those found at the Library of Congress and the Vatican Library while the focal point of Executive Chef Mathieu Frey’s menu is an Austrian apple-strudel, “mit schlag.”
