Food History Objects Out of Storage: Julia Child Awardees

Each year, the National Museum of American History’s food history curators work with that year’s recipient of the Julia Child Award to identify objects and archival materials that reflect the essence of their culinary experiences and their contributions to the history of food in the United States. The awardees donate the objects and materials, which are then processed into the national collections. On this tenth anniversary of the Julia Child award, the curators are bringing a selection of those objects out of storage to share with the public. The materials will be on view in the Coulter Plaza on the first floor west, and curators will be on hand to answer questions.

The museum is located on the National Mall at Constitution Avenue, N.W., between 12th and 14th Streets, Washington, D.C.

The museum is accessible via the Smithsonian- National Mall and Federal Triangle Metro stations on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines.

Museum entrances are located on Constitution Avenue on the first floor and Madison Drive (National Mall) on the second floor. There may be a short wait to enter the building.
