At the Museum
What better way to get into the holiday spirit than visiting Griffin MSI and getting your gifts? Give yourself a day at Griffin MSI and take in some wonder and awe—a World War II submarine, a towering 40-foot wind vortex, the science of thrilling spycraft, and starting November 16, the dazzling holiday display celebrating traditions from around the world. Then pick up some of the holiday gifts available only at the Museum. Talk about your genius ideas.
All Things James Bond
Socks, martini shakers, movie posters, spy kits, even models of props from the movies themselves—the 007 Science: Inventing the World of James Bond gift shop has it all. Bond-themed ornaments and exclusive exhibit apparel made just for Griffin MSI are new to the shop, just in time for the holiday season. This exhibit requires an additional timed-entry ticket.
Pop Into the Holiday Shop
Griffin MSI’s annual Holiday Shop features decor, treats, apparel and several other stocking stuffers, some inspired by the Museum, some created as an ode to Chicago, but all created to spread holiday cheer! Stop by the special pop-up shop on the Main Floor of Griffin MSI for a unique artisanal gift. Open through January 6, 2025.

Available for purchase at the Museum, these nostalgic items ($5 each) make the perfect stocking stuffer — and you can even say you made it yourself. Go for a classic design or collect one of our unique holiday molds available throughout the season. Perfect to do after exploring the Mold-A-Rama™: Molded for the Future exhibit!
