Forget the “Made in China” snow globes packed with a miniature White House or cheap T-shirts, mugs and dog tags: a new museum gift shop is intent on selling only items that are made in the US.

After Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders complained that Washington’s many publicly-funded museums all sold souvenirs of American history made outside the US – most often in made in China – the National Museum of American History rose to the challenge.

A new boutique known as the “Price of Freedom,” named after a military exhibit, has begun offering some 300 domestically-produced objects. The selection is small compared with the 3,000 or so items available in other gift stores, where almost all of the items are made overseas. The “Made in the US” criteria meant lots of items would not be available, explained Linda St. Thomas, an official for the Smithsonian Institute, which includes several of Washington’s most famous museums.
