November 2004 (Newstream) -- This holiday season, SPAM(TM) fans, SPAM(R) Museum visitors and people everywhere will once again be able to not only visit the SPAM Museum, but also take a piece of it home with them.
The 16,500-square-foot SPAM Museum, located in Austin, Minn., home of Hormel Foods Corporation and maker of the SPAM(R) family of products, last year was immortalized in a beautifully-designed, exclusive, ceramic lighted building created by the leading collectible and giftware company, Department 56. The SPAM Museum piece, which retails for $63.25, is available exclusively at the SPAM(R) Shop at the SPAM Museum and via www.spamgift.com, the official Web site catalog for SPAM, or by calling 800-LUV-SPAM and pressing "4."

Almost 170,000 people from all over the world have visited the SPAM Museum since it opened in September 2001. The SPAM Museum pays homage to the 67-year history and unprecedented excitement SPAM has inspired for generations of people worldwide.
"SPAM is a part of American culture," said Shawn Radford, SPAM Museum manager. "What better way to celebrate the brand's history than being able to share it with SPAM fans everywhere with this SPAM Museum collectible piece?"
