Herman,

There is a large bulb industry in the Willamette Valley of Oregon
(daffodils, tulips and lilies). If you could find a museum there, it
would make for an interesting partnership, because of the little known
fact that bulbs that are started in Oregon may be shipped to Holland to
mature for a couple of years, and then they come back to the States as
"Holland Bulbs" because they can be sold for more that way. That isn't
exactly an 'art' angle, but interesting, anyway.  Try the Art Museum in
Portland, Oregon.
