In Gatlinburg, Tennessee, this specialty museum explores the history, design, and popular culture of salt and pepper shakers through more than 20,000 pairs gathered from around the world, along with over 1,500 pepper mills. Founded by Belgian archaeologist Andrea Ludden in 2002, it began in Cosby before moving to Gatlinburg in 2005. Its themed displays highlight the creativity of makers who turned everyday tableware into countless forms, materials, and colors, while also tracing social change across decades. The museum also examines the development of the modern salt shaker and has drawn wide notice through media coverage, unusual-museum lists, and a sister museum in Spain.
