The Banquet exhibit will take visitors through the world of gastronomy through interactive displays that stimulate the senses. Discover the intricacies of food science through sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound.

Learn about the chemistry of cooking and the cultural traditions that shape how we eat. Banquet combines art, history, society, and science to leave you with a whole new understanding of food and how it impacts your life… besides the obvious.

The experience is designed to blend gourmet and festive elements through a multi-sensory journey. It’s never too late to learn about what makes a good meal, so this exhibit is great for all ages.

The Banquet exhibit was designed by Cité des sciences et de l’industrie in partnership with the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) and produced by Imagine.
