The Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) is New York City's first food museum. MOFAD seeks to advance the public understanding of the culture, history, science, production, and commerce of food and drink. We mount small exhibitions that allow students to see, smell, touch, and explore while learning about different cuisines. Our multi-sensory approach to learning uses food as a lens to understand our world.

MOFAD is committed to active participation in food education. That is why the museum offers hands-on guided tours based on age-appropriate lesson plans for grades K-12. Our educational workshops promote a deeper look into the food system through exhibition content. We encourage students to think critically and creatively about food, as well as the stories and history connected to it. In our visits students have the opportunity to explore and relate to different food cultures and perspectives on eating. We offer a different experience and invite you to be part of it.

Support for our curriculums and education staff are thanks in part to generous support by the New York State Council on the Arts.
