Downstairs curiosity. Upstairs taste.

An improbable collection of jars and fine pots, downstairs from a tasting bar and gift shop in Middleton, Wisconsin. Yes, it really is a mustard museum.

Behind the glass.

More than jars on a wall.

The Great Wall, the Gibbons Collection, MustardPiece Theatre, the Curator’s Food Quiz, How Mustard Is Grown and Mrs. Mustard’s Kitchen each take a different look at mustard.

Fine pots, antique tins and vintage labels sit alongside mustards from all 50 states and more than 70 countries.

One address. Two floors.

Ground level

The shop is your first hello.
