The Carrot Museum

 This museum is in Berlotte, Belgium, and it is taken very seriously by the carrot grower society that put it together, but there are theories that it started as a joke and just...got serious afterwards. It's full of carrot-themed memorabilia and information about carrot growing, but the museum is small enough that you can only see the displays through the windows, since it's built in an electric tower in the village. One window is fixed and shows some information, the other lets you change between the displays to learn more about the much-loved vegetable. 

It's tiny and not something that you would spend a lot of time at, but I love that it exists. For more information, here are some sources you can look at.
