The Potato Heads

Struggling to realise their dream of building a sustainable, state-of-the-art potato museum to house their vast collection, pensioners Tom & Meredith Hughes leave their Albuquerque home, bound for their son’s house in Maine - an emergency mission to preserve their vast collection and avoid ruinous storage costs. Once owners of the DC-based Potato Museum, their tuber obsession spans decades. As they journey across America, they share their love of the spud through pop-up exhibitions from State to State. By peeling back the layers of the mighty potato in history, popular culture and even space, we examine a fragmented America.
