A new, free exhibition about how food must change to protect the planet. Be the first to see it this summer—opens 24 July 2025 How does our food today go from field to plate? How did food use to be produced in the past? And how will major advances in ecology and biotechnology change food in the future? Discover the answers to these and many more vital questions in an exciting new exhibition exploring how science is creating more sustainable ways of growing, making, cooking and eating food. From food production way back in ancient history to our industrialised systems of today, thought-provoking objects, hands-on interactive exhibits and compelling digital experiences will show us how we got here—and where we’re going. See fascinating food items, from a 3,500-year-old loaf of bread to the first beef steak grown outside a cow, then take part in a large multiplayer game where you can create your own future for food. Discover stories of scientific and community efforts to conserve the genetic diversity of foods including Norway’s ice-cold seed vaults and seed-swapping ceremonies in the Amazon. Delve into how community food projects, from organic food subsidy schemes in Cardiff to community kitchens in Peru, are making positive strides in reducing the environmental impacts of the food we buy, cook and eat. This interactive, multi-sensory exhibition experience will engage curious minds of all ages. Opens 24 July—don’t miss your chance to get a glimpse at the future of food.
