The NY Food Museum began activities in
the fall of 1998, when the Wolfe Institute hosted a panel on "The Food
Voice and the NY Food Museum" at Brooklyn College. Upcoming plans for
2000 include a book and exhibit on school lunches ("School Lunch and
the Federal School Lunch Program") and the first annual Pickle Day.
First steps have been taken to create an exhibit on the fine and folk
art of cake decorating, an online exhibit on future food resources and
a program on minorities in the food industry.
