Afood museum tells the story of what sustains humankind. Such museums may be specifically focused on one plant, as is the Saffron Museum in Boynes, France. They may explore a food made from a plant, for example, The Bread Museum in Ulm, Germany; a product such as the Mount Horab Mustard Museum; the art of food displayed at California's Copia; or historic farms, for example, Iowa's Living History Farms.
In some cases, food museums focus on how and what the world eats. AgropolisinMontpellier, France does this, as does Nestle Foundation's Alimentarium, in Vevey, Switzerland. Japan's Ramen Museum is an innovative food museum in the form of a shopping arcade featuring different noodle restaurants and displays on ramen history.
Food museums are a part of the emerging food heritage movement.
