We're inspiring curiosity, creativity, and community with food, history and culture!
About Us
Founded in 2019, the Museum of Food and Culture is a museum based in Denver, CO specializing in virtual and pop-up interactive educational experiences. Over the past five years, the Museum has worked on a variety of programs designed to spark curiosity and inspire moments of community connection. 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 and 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.
