Welcome to
The Potato Museum On-Line


Here you will find features, exhibits from our collections, a blog for spud news & reviews, products, recipes, links and a shop.

The Potato Museum, started (1975) in Brussels, Belgium, is the world's first museum about the potato and features the planet's largest collection about this valuable vegetable.

The Potato Museum is not a product of the potato industry. We are a non-profit educational organization dedicated to exploring the potato's fascinating past, controversial present and promising future.

While we occasionally enjoy eating Belgian fries, as well as chips (crisps in UK), we mostly consume the noble tuber in many of its more nutritious and delicious preparations.

We welcome your comments, suggestions, financial support and ideas for a permanent home.




The Potato Museum needs to eat too!
Please keep us fed--you'll support the website and help bring lively, multi-cultural food programs to schools across the country.

Spud Gun Technology Center
A SPUDGUN is a simple device made usually from plastic water pipe, designed to launch/shoot/lob a potato or similar object a long way, farther than you could probably throw it, to distances exceeding 300 yards. This maximum range is highly debatable, but in this context (and the entire site, unless otherwise noted) the projectile will be a run-o-the-mill POTATO, non frozen, no chemical modification, and no densification via foreign objects. To shoot such potato any greater distance would require a 'super potato' given that a potato is inherently a LOUSY projectile, as its density is rather low. High muzzle velocities are easily obtained but they sure slow down in a hurry!

Spud's Pizza Spud’s Pizza – Fresh, Delicious and Healthy™ is a unique new product, in that it features whole wheat dough and potato toppings in America’s favorite food. Andrew W. Beretvas, the founder of Spud's Pizza, realized that few operators, if any, addressed the needs of the health-conscious, more aware consumer, with a lighter, healthier pizza. In researching the market in depth, Andrew also found that though potatoes are America's favorite vegetables, few pizzerias ever used potatoes in their fares.
