In mid-September, the 16,500-square-foot Spam Museum, dedicated to "the quirky joys and unprecedented excitement inspired by Spam," will open in Austin, Minn.
"Spam luncheon meat is much more than a great-tasting food product. It's a slice of Americana that deserves recognition," said Julie Craven, director of public relations for Hormel Foods. "The new museum will be a fun place where people of all ages can discover the origin of Spam, explore its history and celebrate its overwhelming popularity."
