The order of a visit

Upstairs, downstairs, upstairs.

One easy way to see it all. Take it in any order you like.

  1. Ground floor: the gift shop

    Street level. The shelves of mustard and the Tasting Bar.

    Free to walk through.

  2. Down to the museum

    Stairs or the elevator. The Great Wall of Mustard, the Gibbons pots, MustardPiece Theatre and the Curator’s Food Quiz.

    Free. See the exhibits

  3. Back up to taste

    At the free Tasting Bar, “guests can sample over a hundred of our best-selling mustards and sauces.”

    Free. The gift shop

  4. Then the drive home

    The museum likes to point out it is “only 4,310 miles (6,936 kilometers) from Dijon, France.”

    Parking is free, next to the museum.

Free, but not free to run

The museum is a nonprofit.

Admission costs nothing. Donations keep it that way. Buying a jar upstairs helps the shop, which is a separate business.
