It probably won’t come as a surprise that we are very interested in history here at Djurgården. However, we are actually just as interested in the future. The Museum of Spirits’ 2019 exhibition, ‘The Food and Drink of the Future’, addressed the future and the importance of a sustainable food culture in an excellent way. If the question is important, we want to be a part of the conversation. And we think that the question of a sustainable food culture is always important.

Slowly but surely, food and its culture are being strongly associated with both human identity and lifestyle.

History, trends and the future
In addition to discussions surrounding fast food and taking photos of our food, there is also plenty of talk on climate change. Lots of people believe that we need to take greater responsibility for how we produce food and drink. For the sake of the environment, but also for our health.
