Guided tours of "What’s Cooking? Jewish Culinary Culture" temporary exhibition

Show me your plate and I will tell you who you are: where you hail from, who your ancestors were, who your neighbours are and what lifestyle you lead. In the new exposition, we show our audience what is cooking in the Jewish world—we acquaint the wide public with Jewish culture in various corners of the globe by showing typical Jewish dishes, the way they are fixed, their origin and symbolism.
