Disgusting Food Museum

At the DISGUSTING FOOD MUSEUM, visitors can experience, smell and taste delicacies from all over the world. The 80 foods on display in the
main exhibition include frog smoothies from Peru, maggot cheese from Sardinia and the notoriously smelly durian fruit from Thailand.

Food is so much more than just food. We have always been fascinated by strange foods from exotic cultures. Unfamiliar foods can be delicious or only develop their flavor over time. While cultural differences often divide us and create boundaries, food can connect us and bring us together. Sharing a meal is the best way to turn strangers into friends.

The evolutionary function of disgust is to help us avoid disease and unsafe foods. Disgust is one of the six basic human emotions. While this emotion is universal, the foods we find disgusting are not. What is delicious to one person may be disgusting to another. The DISGUSTING FOOD MUSEUM invites visitors to explore the world of food and challenge their ideas of what is and isn't edible. Could changing our notions of disgust help us embrace the environmentally friendly foods of the future?

The exhibition features 80 of the world's nastiest foods. Adventurous visitors can even smell and taste some of these infamous foods. Do you dare to smell the world's stinkiest cheese? Or try sweets made with metal cleaning chemicals? Then embark on an exciting journey through a wide variety of samples from all over the world at our tasting bar.

The numerous exhibits also show the damage we do to the animal environment for what we like to eat or drink. Examples from the exhibition include the popular and controversial foie gras and snakes marinated in alcohol. No animal died for our exhibition, but they die every day for our enjoyment. You can find that disgusting. Our museum should also be a place where we can talk about this.
