Culinary Museum
The Caribbean Culinary Museum includes culinary artifacts from around the Caribbean region. Each item is labeled according to its name on the multiple islands where it is used. There is also a description of each item’s traditional use(s) on these islands.
The exhibition also includes a series of graphic narratives exploring the history of Caribbean cuisine, presented on large-format foam boards. The information is organized based on flavor profiles, looking at how certain culinary staples made their way into the region, how certain items, preparations and serving methods are used differently or in the same way from island to island, and how certain food traditions bring the region together.

The island histories are described with strong reference to how food culture played a role in the people’s survival. Each island is represented by a separate actor. The presentation is played in an ongoing loop for visitors’ enjoyment.
