End of the exhibition

  • #botanical-art

This exhibition of botanical art works that have a special focus on edible plants is being held in cooperation with Britain’s Royal Botanical Gardens (the Kew Gardens). The exhibition will showcase botanical art that includes not only vegetables and fruits but also foods that greatly changed the eating habits of the British people, such as coffee, tea, herbs and various spices. The works are accompanied by anecdotes and background information about how the foods came to be incorporated as ingredients for developing delicious foods. There will also be displays of other materials related to food, such as old recipes and ceramics that decorated the people’s dinner tables, thus creating an exhibition that explores British history and culture through botanical art related to the theme of “delicious food.”
