Event Details
Ah, the sweet smell of chicken nuggets and instant mashed potatoes. Or is it pizza and frozen peas? Either way, Ring the Bell, It's Lunchtime! Bring your pals and join the Science History Institute on Friday, September 27, for the FREE opening celebration of their latest exhibition, Lunchtime: The History of Science on the School Food Tray!
This exhibition highlights nearly 250 years of rare scientific instruments, posters, pamphlets, photographs, and period editions of books popularizing new ideas about a “proper” diet, Lunchtime delves into the surprising backstory behind one of the most familiar rites of passage—eating a school lunch.
Come reminisce about your favorite school lunch offerings like sloppy joes and tater tots! During your visit, you'll experience some delicious surprises like a school lunch-inspired tasting, and a sampling of Rebel Ventures’ Rebel Crumble, a youth-created healthy cake served in schools and stores throughout Philadelphia.
