A Tribute to the Banana

How about a visit to the Washington Banana Museum?

The Washington Banana Museum. . .has assembled close to 4,000 items, a melange of artifacts, folk art and other cultural oddities devoted to the world's perfect fruit. Assembled by a longtime scholar of banana consciousness, it features a compendium of whimsical and serious representations of the #1-selling fruit in the United States.

Here is a Picture of a postcard from 1911.
Pay a visit. Leave a comment about what you think is neat about the Banana Museum. You might learn something like:

Bananas were introduced to the American public at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, the same expo that introduced Alexander Graham Bell's telephone.
