▲ Here comes an interesting story. The founder(创立者) of the museum, Barry Levenson, said that it was because of the Boston Red Sox. After his favourite team lost a very important game, Barry walked sadly at a supermarket, looking for the meaning of life. As he passed mustard shelves, he heard a voice, "If you collect us, the meaning of the life will come." He did and it came. The museum was open on 5 April 1992. Now, it is one of the most famous museums in Wisconsin.
