Julia Child: A Recipe for Life

Open: Through Sept. 10

Julia Child’s insatiable curiosity and tenacious spirit drove her to endlessly try, test, prove and communicate how to make delicious food. Learning to cook empowered Child, and she in turn empowered others, profoundly transforming American cuisine and food culture.

Julia Child: A Recipe for Life explores her personal evolution and America’s culinary revolution, taking a deep dive into the key ingredients that made Child the powerful and iconic person that she was. Museum visitors will journey through her life, beginning with the moment that ignited her curiosity and passion for French cuisine and inspired her career. At the heart of the exhibition is Child’s passion for teaching, examined through her meticulous process of recipe development for Mastering the Art of French Cooking and The French Chef. Her early life, team members and legacy of inspiring people around the world are also showcased.

Exhibition elements include an interactive replica kitchen from the set of The French Chef; dramatic vignettes and themed areas highlighting key moments of Child’s life; video footage, audio and photography; virtual food reproductions of Child’s most famous dishes; plus stations to test your own cooking techniques.
