Description

Museums of all kinds ndash; art; history; culture; science centers and heritage sites ndash; are actively engaging with food through exhibitions; collections; and stories about food production; consumption; history; taste; and aesthetics. Food also plays a central role in their food courts; restaurants; cafes; gardens; and gift shops. Food and Museums is the first book to explore the diverse; complex relationship between museums and food. This edited collection features theoretical analysis from cultural historians; anthropologists; neuroscientists; and food studies scholars; interviews with museum professionals; artists and chefs; and critical case studies from a wide range of cultural institutions and museums to establish an interdisciplinary framework for the analysis of the role of food in museums. Exploring the richness and complexity of sensory; cultural; social; and political significance of food today as well as in the past; the book demonstrates how food is changing the current museological landscape.A fascinating look at contemporary museums through the lens of food; this is an essential read for students and researchers in museum studies; food studies; cultural studies; and sensory studies as well as museum and food professionals.
