In our ongoing effort to keep you up to date on museum offerings around the world, we present the Cyril Callister Vegemite Museum. Launched in May 2023 with much fanfare in Beaufort, Australia the Cyril Callister Vegemite Museum was created to celebrate Vegemite and the life of the man behind the polarizing food spread.
Opened on the 100th anniversary of the invention of Vegemite, this quirky little museum resides in servo@23, a repurposed ’50’s petrol station in Beaufort, Victoria.
The museum is filled with donated vegemite memorabilia from people all over the world. It also features art and merchandise created by local college students. The museum examines the history of vegemite and has a pack of vegemite Oreos on display.
Personally, I cannot understand how any human being with functioning tastebuds can manage to get this stuff down.




Well, I like Marmite, and Vegemite comes a fairly close second. Not Vegemite Oreos though. Ones ha to draw the line somewhere.
I like Marmite.
The passion for Vegemite starts when we Aussies are babies. I’m sure most Aussie families would have a pic of their first born sitting in a high chair face smeared with Vegemite wearing a look of contentment. It’s all about the ratio of butter to Vegemite and the way they are mixed on the toast. And that’s an art form we learn as soon as we’re allowed to use knives, the first step towards mastering the culinary arts. Ah Vegemite, I’d better get the toaster out.
