The FOOD Museum: Food News/Foodways/Food History/Food Sites
Here is the latest edition of The Potato Museum, online since the early 90s, with features, exhibits from our collections as well as interactive modules, teacher and student resources, our Facebook page and shop. The Potato Museum, started in 1975 in Brussels, Belgium, is the world's first museum about the potato and features the planet's largest collection about this valuable vegetable. It also may well be the first museum to be online, especially about food.
Not a product of the potato industry, The Potato Museum is an educational organization dedicated to exploring the potato's fascinating past, controversial present and promising future. The collection has been featured in major exhibitions at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History ("Seeds of Change" 1991-2), Canada's National Museum of Science and Industry ("The Amazing Potato" 1992-93) and the U.S. Botanic Garden ("Spuds Unearthed" 2010.)
