Everyone who visits Hearst Castle leaves with a new understanding
of an era gone by. The majesty, craftsmanship and attention
to detail that make Hearst Castle a place unlike any other
are all but gone in today's world. There is, however, an opportunity
to take a small piece of the Hearst Castle magic home with
you. Visit the Museum Shop, and you'll find yourself surrounded
by meticulously authenticated reproductions of actual architectural
details, art pieces and furnishings that make Hearst Castle
a true treasure.
Beautifully made reproductions can educate as well as provide
enjoyment. The Museum Shop has been in operation at the Hearst
Castle Visitor Center since 1995. The Castle's vast and diverse
collection of fine and decorative arts provide the inspiration
for the reproductions, adaptations and interpretations made
available to visitors. Informative literature accompanies
each purchase. In addition to items related to the collection
at Hearst Castle, the Museum Shop features reproductions from
renowned museums worldwide.
Select rugs, decorative accessories, silver, fabrics and furniture
pieces from the San Simeon estate have been reproduced as
the Hearst Castle Collection®.
Some are available through the Museum Shop, others through
commercial establishments.
All of the income derived from the sale of Museum Store items
assists The Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation in fulfilling
its mission to preserve and restore Hearst Castle and educate
the public about its architectural, historical, and artistic
significance.
