The American Museum of Natural History’s current exhibition Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture explores the complex and intricate food system that brings what we eat from farm to fork. In sections devoted to growing, transporting, cooking, eating, tasting, and celebrating, the exhibition looks at the many ways that food is produced and moved throughout the world. A working kitchen at the museum, featuring cooking demonstrations and food samples based on a different theme every two weeks, enhances the experience of food and flavor for visitors to the exhibit. For two Saturdays in July, during the two week pickling theme beginning on July 15, The Korea Society brings Kimchi to the museum!
