So what else does the SPAM Museum have to offer? Roadside America offers an eyewitness account of the museum's many holdings, including a wall of 3,390 cans of SPAM (the number reportedly has no significance and is merely the number of cans that would fit in the museum lobby), a section called "SPAMburger Alley" featuring "a SPAM patty 4,800 times larger than life-size," a conveyor belt moving an endless parade of SPAM cans in a continuous loop, and yes, the song from the infamous Monty Python sketch is indeed played repeatedly. Certainly, we can all think of worse ways to spend a few hours.
The museum's reviews on Trip Advisor are nearly uniformly glowing, with visitors commenting on the "warm and friendly" staff, the "interesting and educational" exhibits, and the rare opportunity to learn just how many kinds of SPAM there really are. If you're not going to find yourself in Austin, Minnesota in the near future, free live virtual tours are available every weekday. The SPAM gift shop features "SPAM-branded beverage koozies, tennis balls, and glow-in-the-dark boxer shorts" as well as all 13 varieties of SPAM. There is an online version, but unfortunately, as of this writing, "many flavors are currently out of stock."
