Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture

This comprehensive exhibition on the subject of food features rare artifacts, video experiences and interactives that explore the intersection of food, nature, history and human culture. Visitors can see original Sumerian, Pre-Columbian and Moche artifacts, dioramas depicting farming methods around the world, and a unique vertical garden that sustains plant life without soil.

In Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture, visitors can travel to Tenochtitlán in 1519 and experience the sights and sounds of an Aztec marketplace, cook virtual dishes from around the word, and peek into the dining rooms of famous people, such as the Mongolian ruler Kublai Khan and British author Jane Austen. The Whole Foods Market Tasting Kitchen will offer live demonstrations, programs and tastings on March 12 and other select Saturdays with different themes each month, and will highlight the area's top chefs, farmers and authors. Check out the calendar for details. 

Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture education programs and the tasting kitchen are sponsored by Whole Foods Market. Support for the Bullock Museum's exhibitions and education programs is provided by the Texas State History Museum Foundation. The exhibition is organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It will be on view through July 24, 2016.
