Curator of the Mustard Museum
December 6, 2007 – 3:35 pm
Barry Levenson is a true mustard guru. It all began in 1986 when he started collecting jars of mustard. During this time, he worked as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Wisconsin until 1991, when he left the law to concentrate fully on his passion for mustard. Thus, founding The Mount Horeb Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, where it opened to the general public on April 6, 1992. In 2000, the Museum moved to a new spacious facility where its collection has grown to more than 4,400 mustards and hundreds of items of mustard memorabilia.
