Yes, there is actually such a place. Austin, Minnesota.
You actually thought "I" was going to spam the forum? I found the home for it.

Nah. Just spam.
This is the town where George A. Hormel started his meat-processing empire in 1891. So it's fitting that Man's greatest meat-processing achievement — SPAM — should be honored in Man's greatest consumer-processing achievement — the shopping mall. Austin's Oak Park Mall has been home to the SPAM Museum since Hormel's 1991 celebration of its 100th anniversary.
Hormel has given up any hope this place would be publicized as the Hormel Company Museum (its original charter). As the SPAM museum, it attracted 60,000 tourists in 1997. Visitors enter through a large SPAM can into a small museum of glass display cases. The cases are jammed with artifacts, product packaging and promotional items.
Spam luncheon meat was introduced to the public in 1937. You can see photos of Slammin' Spammy, World War II's bomb-throwing pig, and patriotic mascot. There are items about SPAM cookoffs in Hawaii and SPAM-carving contests in Seattle.
Hormel has created more than 1,600 different products during its history. Forgotten curiosities like Hormel Dog Dessert in a tube, Wimpy's Hamburgers in a Can (8 to a can). Meat milestones during their century of innovation include the first canned ham, first canned chili, and the first shelf stable luncheon meat.
Exhibits are occasionally changed, and provide glimpses into the world of Hormel. We've seen a case devoted to traveling promotional sensation, the Hormel Girls, who crisscrossed the country in the 50s, singing, dancing and spreading the Hormel message. There are old copies of "Squeal," the Hormel Company's employee magazine, and the golf clubs and bags of Jay and George Hormel. A video runs continuously, showing highlights from company-produced promotional films and TV commercials.

Spam in the US is better than spam in the Philippines. Now there's turkey spam, though I haven't tried it yet.
