Food: Science, Culture, and Cuisine
You're invited to a multi-sensory feast of an exhibition where science and culture are intertwines in many aspects of gastronomy.
Gathering around the dinner table is a long-held, much-revered tradition across cultures—a universal experience of sharing and celebration. This exhibition honors those cultural traditions while also examining the science behind eating. It's not just about taste — sight, smell, hearing, and touch play a role in how we eat.
Step into the kitchen and test your chef skills with commons tools like a whisk, a pastry roller, and a mandolin. Challenge yourself to create an eye-catching centerpiece that will impress your guests. As you explore the world of culinary arts, you'll discover that taste is about 80% smell—can you smell what's cooking? This immersive experience is both gourmet and festive and will appeal to your mind and every hearty appetite.
