Lambton Heritage Museum has unveiled A Taste of Science, a bilingual, interactive exhibition developed by the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The exhibit, which runs until October 25, 2025, delves into the methods used to slow food decay and keep what we eat safe and nutritious.
Visitors can step into a giant pantry to learn how food spoils—and how modern science combats it. The hands-on displays engage all the senses, offering an educational experience suitable for all ages.
“Food safety is something we all rely on every day, but many people don’t realize the fascinating science behind it,” said Dana Thorne, Curator/Supervisor at Lambton Heritage Museum. “This travelling exhibition offers a fun, hands-on way for visitors of all ages to explore how and why food spoils—and the innovative methods we’ve developed to keep it appetizing and safe.”
The Taste of Science exhibition was created through the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum’s national food literacy initiative, launched in 2013. The initiative is supported by partners including Nestlé Canada, the Government of Canada, and Bernardin Ltd.
The exhibition is included with regular admission. More information is available at lambtonmuseums.ca.
