Crunch, Munch, Slurp

A hands-on exhibition on eating

Mmmmm, that’s good! Eating and drinking are not just necessary to live, but wonderful in themselves. Just imagine: delicious kitchen smells tickling the nose, sweet ice cream melting on the tongue, a seductive sizzle coming from the pan, your hands sinking in cookie dough, and a luxuriously set table—a feast for the eyes.

    ZOOM Children's Museum

At this exhibition, the children find out what satisfies our hunger and keeps us healthy, what nutrients our body needs, what’s the link between food and movement, where food comes from, and what’s in our favorite foods, like spaghetti or French fries. They’ll put together a healthy lunch plate, steer the intestinal villi at our “body construction site,” can pedal, row, and step to see how many calories you burn, and they can have a look at fruit and vegetables through our “seasonal spectacles.” People in other countries have different food customs: what might a nomad child in Somalia, an Indian seamstress, a Scottish shepherd, or an astronaut eat?
