‘
All that is valuable will decay’
Food is deeply rooted in every culture. Any meal is a crossroads of rituals and traditions that connects people and distinguishes cultures.
The FoodMuseum collects and presents food in a cultural context. It tells the stories behind objects and traditions from different perspectives: historical, ethnological and gastronomical. From age-old Chinese traditions to part-time vegetarianism, from Dutch herring to Moroccan pastry, from edible clay to seacucumbers: food turns out to be a unique entrance to identity and diversity within a country, a city or a neighbourhood.
The museum initiates projects and exhibitions and co-operates with museums, (private) collections and projects.
Nothing is fixed and frozen in the FoodMuseum. It grows organically, depending on chance encounters and whatever actuality throws at us.
