In 2020, the must-have accessory is, without question, the face mask.

Even a quick trip to the store is impossible without a handy face covering (and maybe a plastic face shield, Purell to-go bottle, and disposable gloves).

But what to do when you’re sick of the same-old tired surgical look?

Luckily, museum gift shops (and they are struggling right now) are getting in on the action, with some flashy, fantastic face masks. Even institutions that are still closed to visitors are selling them!

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best.
