Future of Food exhibition coming to Science Museum
The Science Museum is set to launch Future of Food, a “major new exhibition” from 24th July until 4th January 2026. The event will examine how science can help us find more sustainable ways to grow, produce, and eat food, and will feature over 100 historic and contemporary objects that highlight major food milestones.
Among them will include a 3,500-year-old fermented sourdough bread, the world’s first Quorn burger, and the first beef steak grown outside a cow.
Visitors will be invited to explore the “complex and interconnected stories behind the everyday foods we consume” including complete meals in powder form, to community cookery schools. Future of Food will also explore how our everyday consumption can lead to more sustainable food production, including what we eat, how we shop, and how we cook. It will showcase “insightful human stories of farmers, scientists and community leaders connected to sustainable food production and consumption across the globe and reveal how our current food practices impact the climate, nature, and society.”
Future of Food will also invite visitors to think about the impact of the food we consume and delve into debates around local food systems and the global food trade, including seasonality, supply chains, sustainable protein, and food traceability. It will even look at how blockchain technology can help make shopping more transparent, highlight community projects, and showcase insect-based foods such as cricket burgers in development in Europe.
