The National Mustard Museum is a nonprofit museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history, culture, and craft of mustard. Located in Middleton, Wisconsin, it houses a collection of over 7,000 mustards and features exhibits and curated displays that explore mustard’s culinary and cultural significance. The museum operates on donations and provides free admission, with a Gourmet Gift Shop and a Mustard Tasting Bar available to visitors, though shop sales do not fund the museum. Its activities serve visitors interested in food history and condiment culture, offering educational context and a space to explore diverse mustard varieties. The organization functions within the museum industry as a specialized cultural institution focused on a niche culinary topic and relies on charitable support to sustain its operations.
