Food and Drink: An Interactive Journey through Time at the Hinter Aegidien State Museum
The special exhibition Food and Drink. An Experiential Journey through Body and Time at the Hinter Aegidien State Museum combines science, history, and hands-on participation into an unusually lively event experience. From November 29, 2025, to August 30, 2026, the exhibit takes visitors through the human body and simultaneously through 800,000 years of food culture.
When Knowledge Tastes, Smells, and Surprises
The first station makes it clear what this is about: not just watching, but trying out. In the journey through the body, visitors follow the path of food from the mouth through the stomach and intestines to the rectum. Puzzle stations, models, and engaging explanations create a strong atmosphere for the audience and make the exhibition exciting for families and the curious.
From Prehistoric Times to the Present
The second part bridges the gap from the Paleolithic era to the dietary visions of tomorrow. Stone culture, Roman feasts, medieval cuisine, Baroque table manners, and the industrialization in the Braunschweig region are made visible, as are questions about sustainable nutrition, global eating habits, and technological development. This creates a multifaceted view of nutrition, cultural history, and society.
Interactive Exhibition with Depth
The exhibition focuses on interaction, experience, and understandable presentation. The market of opportunities, a pizza oven as a hands-on station, and offerings for different age groups provide a strong appeal for families, school classes, and culture enthusiasts. The format is professionally convincing due to its clear organization, well-structured stations, and focus on educational experience rather than mere information.
The Special Venue in Braunschweig
The venue itself also contributes to the atmosphere: The Hinter Aegidien State Museum is a historically evolved building complex with a special character. Those who visit experience the museum not as a quiet space but as a place for discovery, exchange, and sensory impressions.
Conclusion: An Outing That Sticks with You
This exhibition appeals to the mind, stomach, and curiosity alike. Those searching for an unusual cultural and family experience in Braunschweig will find a strong mix of knowledge, interaction, and an engaging journey through time. Best experienced live and walk through body and history yourself.
