Think, Shop, and Eat at The Dynamo Museum Shop and Café!

Stop by The Dynamo Museum Shop and Café for some unusual gifts and creative food this Art Deco weekend.

The Dynamo Café features a sophisticated menu in a casual and artfully designed setting, also inspired by and reflecting the themes of the museum's collection.
