My wife and I have been fascinated with the history and social influence of the potato for many years. It all began as a classroom project with my fifth graders while teaching at the International School of Brussels. Now a non-profit organization, we are seeking a permanent home for the collection, reported to be the world's largest collection on the subject.
Over the years we've had exhibits in major museums in the US, Canada and shows in Europe. We cover the potato's amazing past, controversial present and promising future in our websites, lectures and publications.
Now the potato is making news, once again. You can read about this "hot potato" topic in the linked BBC report which concludes with some quotes by my wife and a link to our Potato Museum online site.
