With the holidays right around the corner, Mini Museum is here to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list! Here are 12 of our favorite history gifts, spanning ancient civilizations to sports and politics!

Whether their interests are in knights, the Olympics, Alcatraz, samurai, or even Stonehenge, we've got you covered! After all, what could be better than the real thing?!

We've got the the first collection starter and the missing piece they've been searching for forever, all in one place. From pieces of the Berlin Wall, to medieval chainmail, to the steps of the US Capitol Building, give them a piece of history they can show off!

Iconic of one of the most tumultuous times in recent world history, the Berlin wall was a symbol of the Cold War and its effects on global politics. Erected in 1961 to prevent East German citizens from defecting to democratic West Germany, it split the city until November 1989.

This specimen is an authentic fragment of the Berlin wall; It is a perfect collection starter or addition for anyone interested in world history or global politics!

Originally used as a military outpost during the Civil War, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary housed some of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century. Its doors closed in 1962, and soon after the island would be taken over twice in demonstrations by American Indian activists.

These specimens were recovered from the prison itself by the National Parks Service during a restoration. A perfect gift for anyone interested in this storied icon of American history!

Now known as the warrior class of ancient Japan, the term samurai actually referred to any servant of the Japanese imperial court, whereas bushi referred to warriors. This specimen comes from a katana crafted in the mid-1500s, accompanied by a fragment of late Edo Period kamishimo, the formal court garments of a samurai. A must-have for those interested in feudal Japan and the samurai!

One of the great innovations of the Medieval era, chainmail was far lighter than other armor and afforded soldiers improved mobility in combat, while still providing adequate protection from swords and other weapons. A perfect gift for fans of fantasy, knights, and the medieval era!

The marriage of HRH Charles Windsor, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer was an international sensation. Watched by an estimated 750,000,000 people around the world, the wedding was the culmination of a fairy-tale in which an assistant kindergarten teacher became a princess overnight. This specimen is a fragment of the royal wedding cake, a perfect gift for fans of Princess Di!

Where a bill becomes a law! The meeting place of the American Senate and House of Representatives, the United States Capitol building has watched over the National Mall in Washington, DC, since 1800. This specimen is from the first marble steps to the rotunda, originally installed in 1870 and replaced in 1995. An iconic conversation and collection starter for any political or U.S. history enthusiast!

Representing the peak of human athletic performance and over 70 years of sports history, this bundle celebrates two legendary athletes and one iconic competition: The Olympics. Featuring Muhammad "The Greatest" Ali's punching bag, globally adored footballer Pelé's personal ball, and fragments of the Olympic Torch used in Athens 2004, this is an ideal start or addition to any sports fan's collection!

Spanning more than 100 years of technology breakthroughs, the Industry Innovators Bundle celebrates three technology pioneers and the revolutions they helped bring forth.

The story begins in 1858 with Cyrus West Field spearheading the effort to create the world's first transatlantic telegraph cable, continues with the first supercomputer created by Seymour Cray, and ends with Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple computers. The perfect collection starter for the industry-interested!

Named after the borough of New York City to throw off foreign espionage, the Manhattan Project took place in multiple research centers across the US. The top secret research of the project, the atomic bomb, would irrefutably change the world and arguably end the Second World War in the Pacific.

These specimens are pieces of glass used by scientists during the Manhattan Project across various test sites. A compelling specimen for anyone interested in World War II and the atomic bomb.

A defining feature of early humans was our use of tools. Without recorded stories or histories, sometimes the rocks our ancestors left behind are all we have to learn about them.

These tools are probably not going to help you build anything now, except an awesome collection of ancient human artifacts! One thing is for sure: you won't find gifts like these at a hardware store.

Probably the most well known prehistoric megalith, Stonehenge is an astonishing monument and a massive feat of early human civilization. These specimens share the same heritage as the iconic bluestones assembled at Stonehenge. A must have for anyone interested in early civilization!
