Part of Poland's holy trinity of cabbage, potatoes and vodka - this fittingly underground museum is indeed devoted to the humble 'ziemnak' or 'pyry' as they are proudly known in the local dialect. A bit self-aware of the absurdity of such a museum, the costumed staff take pains to be very earnest, but also keep things light-hearted, fun and highly interactive as they guide you through the exhibits, which recount the full history of this favoured tuber through the ages, and its importance to Poznań. You'll discover all the different varieties of potato, the immense myriad of potatoey things that Poles can create in the kitchen, and every guest gets to season and bake their own pyra. Entertaining a lot of school groups, individual guests are welcome from Fri-Sun, and tickets should be booked online.
