Since the sculpture garden was too much culture for my children the next stop on our trip was Austin, MN and the Spam Museum. Just to be clear, this is a museum about spam and not a museum made out of spam. That would be awesome.
At the end of the tour they were sampling Spam and I took my first bite of Spam ever. It wasn’t as horrible as I had expected, it was just so very salty. If you are going to put meat in a can and expect it to last a decade or two I suppose you are going to have be generous with the salt.
The museum really seems to embrace Spam’s place in pop culture . They had activities for kids and memorabilia to appeal to all ages. It’s a small museum and can be gone through completely in less than an hour. If you happen to be driving through Minnesota and find yourself passing through Austin, MN the Spam Museum is a great place to get out and stretch your legs. Best of all, it’s free!
