Gate-side art gifts in LGA Terminal B
Right in Terminal B, the Museum of Modern Art Store brings the Midtown MoMA merch vibe into the concourse, so you can grab design-forward gifts without leaving the secure side. It sits airside after security in B, a short walk from most mainline gates used by American, United, and Southwest, so you don’t need to factor in a landside detour.
This MoMA Store leans hard into small, packable items: think under-$30 design gadgets, color-block notebooks, and art-print socks that still fit in a personal item. You’ll also see mid-range pieces like framed prints and desk objects that climb into the $50–$100 bracket, which is useful if you blew off souvenir buying in Manhattan and now have a 90-minute wait before boarding.
Kids’ stuff runs strong here, with art-focused toys, puzzles, and games priced roughly $15–$40, better quality than the usual airport plastic. There’s also a shelf of MoMA-branded books and exhibition catalogues, good if you missed the actual museum on 53rd Street but still want something tied to current or past shows. Just remember: heavy coffee-table books in a carry-on add up fast.
Cards, small prints, and keychains near the registers work well for last-minute “I remembered you” gifts when your flight boards in 20–25 minutes. Staff usually offer a gift bag or tissue wrap, which saves you hunting for a separate card shop in B. Tip: if you’re tight on space, stick to flat items under 8.5 x 11 inches so they slide into a laptop sleeve and don’t trigger extra bag scrutiny at the gate.
