About Us

Founded in 2019, the Museum of Food and Culture is a new museum based in Denver, CO specializing in virtual and pop-up interactive educational experiences. Over the past four years, the Museum has worked on a variety of programs designed to prompt reflection, engagement, and active participation. Our programs have improved social dialogue around difficult topics like marginalization in history, cultural appropriation, personal ethics, and how identity evolves and changes.

The Museum of Food and Culture is a place (in-person or virtually!) where people can have a variety of experiences from cooking to gardening, tasting foods of other cultures to creating art, and from learning history to sharing pop culture. 

Currently, we are expanding our educational resources for schools around the country!
