Alimentarium

Fodor's Review:

The Nestlé Foundation, a dynamic force in the region, sponsors an unconventional museum, the Alimentarium. A sculpture of an apple at the entrance of the 19th-century lakefront mansion symbolizes the museum's purpose: the celebration and study of food. In a stainless-steel kitchen chefs demonstrate their skills, and displays on food preparation cover everything from the campfire to futuristic equipment. Other sections focus on merchants, supermarkets, food presentation, and marketing; you can also stroll through herb and vegetable gardens. The exhibits have material in English; some are interactive.

  • Cost: 10 SF
