Curious Histories Fest: What’s for Lunch?
Curious Histories Fest returns! Join us for our third annual celebration of science, history, exploration, and experimentation.
The day will feature free hands-on activities and family-friendly fun, as well as exciting talks, tours, and highlights from our special collections. Visit our museum; talk to curators and experts; take part in performances, story times, and special events; and immerse yourself in curiosity!
What’s for Lunch?
Curious Histories Fest highlights a new theme each year. Inspired by our exhibition Lunchtime: The History of Science on the School Food Tray, this year we’re exploring the history of food science and efforts to feed children in school. Check back for details.
Curious Histories Fest is open to all ages. Admission and programs are free; food and drink are pay-as-you-go. No reservations are necessary.
Major funding for Curious Histories Fest is provided by the Bolte Family Foundation with additional support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
