Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan
The research trip of the Museum of Edible Earth to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan took place in July – August 2019. The trip has been an amazing experience, as in all of those three places clay is sold as an edible product on the markets. Some of those samples were obtained for the collection of the Museum of Edible Earth. Also, short interviews with the locals have been conducted.
