of Mustards and Mustard Memorabilia

A mustard museum? ABSOLUTELY! According to Barry Levenson, founder & curator of the National Mustard Museum, you can blame it all on the Boston Red Sox. In the wee hours of October 28, 1986, after his favorite baseball team had just lost the World Series, Barry was wandering an all-night supermarket looking for the meaning of life. As he passed the mustards, he heard a voice: If you collect us, they will come.

He did and they have. In 1992, Barry left his job as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Wisconsin to open this most improbable museum, now one of Wisconsin’s most popular attractions. The Mustard Museum has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the popular game shows Jeopardy! and To Tell the Truth, as well as countless features on other national television and radio shows, and in major newspapers everywhere.

So, why all the fuss? Well, with more than 6,090 mustards from all 50 states and more than 70 countries (and counting), our collection of Mustard History is a sight to behold. From the exquisite Gibbons Collection of mustard pots to antique tins & jars and vintage advertisements, the National Mustard Museum is truly a shining temple to the “King of Condiments”.
Help us honor the King of Condiments. National Mustard Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in August. It is always a fun-filled, sun-splashed day for the whole family.

Traditionally, our Mustard Day street festival features music, games and other entertainment, as well as hot dogs, brats, FREE mustard sampling, and more. The National Mustard Museum has been the official sponsor and host of this event since 1991
At least that’s the word according to Professor Mustard, in the library, with the mustard jar. At POUPON U, we recognize the values of intellectual honesty, freedom of expression, and hard work. We don’t practice those values, but we do recognize them. Instead, we offer a stimulating learning environment where faculty and students engage in spontaneous food fights.

Yes, the kooky coeds at America’s Mustard College are always feeling a little condimental. Which is why they are rarely seen without their official Poupon U gear. Hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pennants — all the traditional campus gifts as well as some not-so-traditional bookstore merchandise.

POUPON U understands the importance of a quality collegiate football program, and that is why we don’t field a football team. But we do have two (yes, TWO) outstanding fight songs that will make your spirits soar.

So give it the ol’ college try, Poupon U-style!
