Museum shops sell Marilyn lipstick, artist scarves and collage bikinis

Museums are increasingly commercialising their collections, selling unique exhibition-tied products such as a lipstick matching Marilyn Monroe's lip colour, a cat bowl inspired by Tracey Emin's art, a football scarf tied to a painter's retrospective, and a bikini covered in fragments of an artistic collage. The final room of a museum is now often a boutique stocking exclusive items unavailable elsewhere. This is a growing trend among cultural institutions worldwide.

Is commercialising museums through fashion merchandise a good idea?
