An exhibition that offers a new perspective on food

At the Landesmuseum Hinter Aegidien in Braunschweig, Eating and Drinking. An Experiential Journey through Body and Time takes visitors through the world of nutrition, the body, and cultural history across two floors. The special exhibition combines engaging interactive stations with well-founded museum knowledge and makes visible how closely enjoyment, health, and history are intertwined.

A journey through the body with a surprising effect

Visitors navigating the exhibition follow food step by step through the mouth, stomach, and intestines to the rectum. Riddle stations, models, and sensually designed exhibits bring digestion, organs, and senses closer. This creates an event experience that makes science understandable while simultaneously sparking genuine explorer enthusiasm among the audience.

800,000 years of food culture in one place

The time journey spans from the Paleolithic era to the future of nutrition. A dense narrative unfolds about food culture, social differences, and technological innovations, from prehistoric hunting to Roman feasts, medieval kitchens, and baroque dining habits, all the way to industrialization in the Braunschweig region. Particularly striking: the examination of religious regulations, sustainable nutrition, and artificial foods opens discourse far beyond the museum visit.

Interactive moments for families, school classes, and the curious

The exhibition features interactive elements and invites exploration, comparison, and experimentation. The market of possibilities delves into themes such as healthy eating, food distribution, and global eating habits. This is where the format's strength lies: it appeals to families as well as culture-interested adults and groups with interests in education, health, and regional history.

Voices of the fans

The digital accompaniment creates anticipation for the exhibition experience even before the visit and emphasizes the clear target audience communication of the museum.
