Spam Museum

The museum tells the history of the Hormel company, the origin of Spam, and its place in world culture.

Originally located in Austin's Oak Park Mall, Hormel later re-branded it as the Spam Museum.

[2] The 16,500-square foot space included a theater, historical displays, family activities and games, and a gift shop.

Volunteer guides – known as Spambassadors – offer visitors small bits of Spam on a toothpick or pretzel stick, commonly known as Spamples.

[11][12] The Spam Museum is a featured stop in the Dan Gutman book series Genius Files.
