Julia Child’s Kitchen

August 15, 2012 - November 19, 2012

Museum: American History Museum

Location: 1st Floor, East Wing

As part of the museum’s celebration of Julia Child’s 100th birthday on August 15, 2012, her beloved Cambridge, Massachussetts, kitchen is back on display. Child (1912-2004) used the kitchen as the set of three television shows and as the testing ground for many recipes featured in her cookbooks. The kitchen contains hundreds of tools, appliances, and furnishings arranged exactly as they were when Child donated the kitchen to the museum in 2001.

Julia's kitchen will introduce the upcoming exhibition Food: Transforming America’s Table, 1950-2000, opening November 20, 2012.
