If food and history are two of your passions, then look no further than the latest exhibit to open at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The exhibit, FOOD: Transforming the American Table, 1950-2000, is focused not only on what we’ve eaten through the decades, but also how our culinary preferences have shaped American culture and cuisine.
From the rise of centralized agriculture to the evolution of wine-making, the exhibit is serving up facts and fun about all things food in a 3,800-square-foot gallery and is scheduled to remain open for at least two years. Head over to the Smithsonian’s site for details on each of the six exhibit components, including:
- Julia Child’s Kitchen
- New and Improved!
- Resetting the Table
- Wine for the Table
- Open Table
