Guadalest Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum

Guadalest Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum

Andrea Ludden, a trained anthropologist, is world-renowned for her collection of salt and pepper shakers. Her collection of over 40,000 sets is housed in two different museums—one located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, USA, and the other in the small town of Guadalest in the province of Alicante, Spain, known as the Guadalest Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum.

As you step into the Guadalest Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum, you can’t help but laugh, because every single shaker here is incredibly creative. These are no ordinary kitchen bottles—each one is a work of art to behold. With more than 20,000 pieces on display, this collection represents half of Andrea Ludden’s entire assortment, while the rest are exhibited at the Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum in Gatlinburg, USA. The museum showcases an astonishing variety of shaker designs, featuring everything from chubby chefs and ruby-red tomatoes to guards dressed in bear skins, the Beatles, puppies, Santa Claus, swans, pistols, potatoes, eggplants, green peppers, corn, cabbages, bell peppers, and carrots—each piece is truly captivating.
