The Museum of Food in America strives to educate a diverse public about the history, innovation, and diversity of food in the greater United States through unique exhibitions and programming.
EXPANDED VERSION:
The Museum of Food in America (MOFIA) opened as an online presence in order to garner potential visitors before the opening of the Museum’s space in the Lower East Side. Housed in two newly designed buildings, the Museum provides:
• Rotating exhibitions focused on culture and food, history of food and food production, food trends and movements, innovations in food technologies, and food advertising.
• The Memory Food Bank Archive – an oral history project that will reach out to groups to speak about their food memories, recipes, and processes for creating, eating, and ritualizing food.
• A close partnership with chefs, and the restaurant attached to the Museum, to not only textually and visually educate audiences about food in America, but also taste it.
• A strong online presence, including an innovative and accessible website as well as social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and the MOFIA Blog.
These and multiple other projects and programs aim to educate audiences through exciting programming, engaging and resonant exhibitions, and state of the art media and interpretive technologies.
