What is this? A museum for potatoes?

Canadian Potato Museum "may be the least exciting-sounding museum in the world." Get your picture taken with the world’s largest potato sculpture!

But the potato museums don't stop there. Many more to enjoy.

I'm down to wreck the PEI Potato Country Kitchen.

I have been to the Idaho Potato Museum. There's a VR exhibit where you can immerse yourself in the sheer excitement of riding a giant harvesting machine through a field of potatoes.

(spoiler: it's not made out of potato.)

That is one seriously underwhelming world's largest anything.

Eh, everyday item museums can be great. I was dubious about the Tokyo Tobacco & Salt museum, but the memories remain fresh.

Aw, missed that one, but I went to Potato World in New Brunswick, right next to the McCain Potato Processing Technology Centre. Sadly I couldn't get a tour in there.
