A Real Smokeshow

The Museum of BBQ is an immersive, colorful environment that encourages you to play while you learn about the elements and regions of American barbecue. We’re intentionally based in Kansas City – a city known for its barbecue culture – and a place where lots of different influences come together to create unforgettable barbecue plates.

We used the spirit of barbecues to inspire us to create a place for people to gather and talk. We‘ll excite your senses and make you a little hungry just like the sizzle on a grill or enticing smells from the smoker in the backyard. Come on over to the Museum of BBQ. We’ll save you a spot.

What’s the Museum of BBQ?

We built this museum to teach you about the elements and how each step of the cooking process gives flavor to every bite of delicious barbecue. And we want to highlight the regional specialities and styles that make barbecue distinct in different parts of the United States. Dive into barbecue and our bean pit as you make your way through the 10 installations at the Museum of BBQ.

Why Build The Museum of BBQ?

We want you to learn about barbecue and have fun doing it. We want you to be with your family and friends in a place that celebrates the art and culture of barbecue. And we want to help encourage you to take the flavors of barbecue and experiment the next time you make dinner or go out to eat. 

Who is the Museum of BBQ for?

Everyone is welcome at the Museum of BBQ. Whether you’re coming to immerse yourself in our artist-driven space to create lasting memories or want to take a trip across American barbecue without leaving Kansas City, we’ve got you covered. We’ve made a space that will appeal to barbecue fans, art lovers, and families looking to discover more about the world of barbecue.
