It was the main food during the Second World War and during the tough years of the Depression. The Spam Museum is actually an innovatively renovated K-Mart building. The original K-Mart structure has however been completely run over by Spam renovations. What remains of the K-Mart building is but a shell whose windows, walls, doors, ceilings and the exterior designs have been totally overhauled to form the modern day Spam Museum. How the museum came to be is a story as amusing as the museum itself. Innovation is the best way to describe this museum. K-Mart had vacated the building located at Main Street, Austin, a decade or so ago. After remaining idle for all those years the location lost value since with the exit of K-Mart slow business resulted. In fact, even a grocery store once thriving across the street also moved shop and left an empty huge box lying idle.  Spam Museum Mr. Hormel came in with an idea of how the area could be turned around positively. At that time, Hormel’s offices were just half a mile away from the abandoned K-Mart. For one, it was a prime location in Austin and had space for expansion. The price was cheap and the space available.

The Hartford Trash Museum is located in Connecticut, at 211 Murphy Road. The Hartford’s Trash Museum is a project of the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority. This initiative, like very few of the fun museums in the world today, is a very relevant enterprise, going by the contemporary global environment trend of conservation. Today, the world is plagued by the effects of environmental pollution to the extent that nations are now converging to seek the way forward.

The Barbie Doll in America is perhaps the greatest doll toy of all time across the world, and her popularity is mainly from her great representation of the American culture. However, this same toy was banned in Iran and then Middle Eastern countries in general, simply because she was thought to represent a culture in opposition with that of predominantly Muslim countries. In effect, a new doll that resembles Barbie was launched in November 2003 in Syria. This doll, the Fulla doll (called the Muslim Barbie by some quarters), was said to represent the Muslim culture since she wore conservatively and even had a hijab.  Toy Museums With such key cultural attachments as exemplified above, toys have increasingly become objects of cultural representation.
