FOOD: More than a meal
In this exhibition, you will learn more about food today, in the future, and from a historical perspective, in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. FOOD: MORE THAN A MEAL is suitable for the whole family and is intended to inspire action and raise awareness about different aspects of the food we eat.
Welcome, the food is served!
FOOD: MORE THAN A MEAL explores the idea that food is not just food. Food is identity and culture, politics, attitudes, climate, and the environment. Food is the past, present, and future. Everyone needs food. We cultivate, store, transport, eat, throw away, or recycle it. The exhibition takes a historical approach to show possible pathways into the future.
The exhibition focuses on four main themes: cultivation, transportation and storage, eating, and reusing and recycling food. Each theme is presented in both historical and contemporary context. The historical dimension helps put our current consumption and production into perspective. Perhaps this can help us think and act in new and more sustainable ways?
FOOD: MORE THA A MEAL is created by the Regionmuseum Skåne in collaboration with Den Gamle By, Aarhus, Denmark, and Maihaugen, Lillehammer, with funding from Nordisk Kulturkontakt and the Nordic Culture Fund.
