New York’s Museum of Modern Art store is stocked with all sorts of beautifully designed practical and collectible items like high-tech kitchenware, children's toys, fashion accessories and even merchandise from Japanese artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara. Good thing you don’t have to be in New York to visit the store – there are MoMA Design Stores in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Just when you thought face masks couldn’t get any fancier, the MoMA Design Store has released a collection of reusable cloth masks featuring prints by famous artists whose work is in the MoMA collection. Now you can mask up with six designs based on artwork by Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Takashi Murakami and more.
