The MCA's shop, with its handy street-level entrance, puts affordable high design — including original artist-made pieces — at every designphile's fingertips. Yes, there are T-shirts and key chains, but you'll also find eye-popping modern clocks, vases, plates, and serving dishes. Harry Allen's hand-shaped wall hook ($88) and Jonas Damon's innovative LED block-number clock ($100) are just two of the store's giftable wares.
