Museum of Food and Drink to Open in Brooklyn, 10/28

The Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) is launching New York City's first food museum with exhibits you can eat. The mission is to change the way people think about food and inspire day-to-day curiosity about what we eat and why.

MOFAD, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, aspires to become the global leader for food education: visitors will learn about the culture, history, science, production, and commerce of food and drink through exhibits and programs that emphasize sensory engagement. When visitors come to MOFAD, they won't just see and touch - they will smell and taste as well.

The time is right for an educational institution that enables people of all ages and backgrounds to make better, more informed choices for themselves, their communities, and the environment. This will be a museum for everyone: food is culture, and the Museum of Food and Drink will show why.

Everyone eats. People of all ages and backgrounds, from picky and apathetic eaters to gastronomes and food lovers, should care about food.

Informed eaters are better eaters. They make better choices for their taste buds, health, community, and environment.

Food is culture. It is more than simply what is on our plates: it is a common denominator of human relationships.

Food is personal. People should be approached with a non-judgmental attitude about their diet.

Food is participatory. To best learn about food, you must taste, smell, and think.

Food is fun. A positive, non-fear-based outlook is the best way to approach food education.
