As if you needed ANOTHER reason to take a BBQ-based road trip out to Kansas City, the world’s first museum of BBQ is opening this week.

And how the hell is this the first time anyone has thought of this? BBQ deserves at least as many museums as dinosaurs, right? The Museum of BBQ from founder Jonathan Bender is nearing its grand opening (April 12) in a 4k sq ft space in Kansas City (this checks out).

The museum will feature the best of BBQ on a national level, so no one has to feel left out (looking at you, Texas). Supposedly, the museum will rep all styles and stories, from the vinegar-y Carolinas to the briskets of Texas (which, coincidentally, would make a great extra verse for “This Land is Your Land”).

Exhibits will cover the history of barbecue, individuals who dedicated their lives to the art, and even some interactive features. But we can all agree that the star of the show is the baked bean ball pit that you can dive into like some sort of pit master Scrooge McDuck, right?

Tickets for the grand opening are just $10. So, pull up Google Maps right now and start planning the greatest road trip of your life. Tell the wife it’s an educational experience for the whole family.

Your move, Austin.
