Tomorrow's food: Pills, powders and insects

On Wednesday 10 July, De Studio, the new location of the NEMO Science Museum at Marineterrein Amsterdam, opened with the exhibition 'Voedsel van morgen' (Tomorrow's food). In this exhibition, NEMO, in collaboration with Next Nature Network, takes visitors on a food trip and provides answers to questions such as: Do you still need teeth if all your food is in one pill? And will we be eating insects instead of chickens in 2050? Using animal, vegetable and functional food concepts, visitors will discover what could be on their plates in 2050.

Taste the future

Every Wednesday evening, the exhibition is given an extra outfit with lectures, documentaries, workshops and tastings. After all, how does the food of the future actually taste? The food of tomorrow also includes insects. De Krekerij tells the participants more about insects and during this lecture they can experience for themselves what that means. 

Next Nature Network, the international network for everyone who likes to talk about a future in which nature and technology merge, shows even more exciting future scenarios. During the NEMO Kennislink Live, scientists will talk to the participants about why we eat the way we eat and what it takes to make our food more sustainable.

NEMO for adults in The Studio

The design of The Studio fits in well with the experimental character of Marineterrein Amsterdam, where organisations and researchers work together to devise solutions for social challenges and a sustainable living environment. Here, NEMO, together with content partners and the public, will devise, test and apply new exhibitions and programmes in the manner characteristic of NEMO, i.e. accessible and interactive. In contrast to the exhibitions in the adjacent family museum, Food of tomorrow is therefore aimed at a mature audience.
