We've Moved! 1 door north to 431 North St Monday - Friday  12-5, Saturday 10-5  Wow! Downtown Pittsfield is the buzz! Since opening an outlet store in downtown Pittsfield, the response has been overwhelming positive. Now, 3 years later, we even more committed to Downtown and have moved to 431 North Street (1 door north), next to Ferrin Gallery.  Come visit us downtown!

Because we are  the manufacturer, sometimes we get goofs, wrong sizes, wrong colors and choosing not to sell these oops to a discounter, we opened a factory outlet store. (It is also our only connection to our wonderful Berkshire neighbors that we lose contact with while working long hours in this old factory!) Discontinued, overstocks, show samples etc., at wholesale or below. Custom framing is available using our extensive selection of mouldings.

Our mission for the store was to bring in products that complemented our products. We ferreted out other American manufacturers and the mix seems to work. Our tapestry bags are very popular and made for us by a company in Brooklyn, Olivina body products are made in California and the quality is unequaled. Our baby room is filled with wonderful fleece blankets and taggies handmade by Robin, a local craftswoman. Organic handknit cotton baby sweaters, children's art books and vintage children's framed illustrations round out the baby room.   www.museumoutlets.com
