Most museum shops are a letdown, filled with cheap imitations and tacky souvenirs. Fortunately there are some that offer faithful replicas - of everything from cutting-edge architecture to millennium sold jewelry - as well as items that reflect the spirit of their collections. And it's all available online. You can't have the originals, but here's where to get the next best thing...

...Campbell thinks the results have finally silenced naysayers who called the Dome a doomed disaster. Critics may have hated the Millennium Experience, he says, "but the building was always cool.
