Essen und Trinken
For the first time in Germany, two adventure journeys through the body and time lead into a fascinating world of science and cultural history on the subject of food and drink in the new traveling exhibition ‘Essen und Trinken’ at the REM Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen in Mannheim, Germany. NorthernLight designed the exhibition where visitors experience an adventurous journey through the inside of the human body. With a variety of theme islands and hands-on areas the exhibition spectacularly illustrates the path of food and how it strengthens us as a source of energy. Interactive stations, archaeological finds, anatomical models and cultural-historical testimonies will offer exciting insights into the history of nutrition and the paths of food in our body.
Journey through time
Travel through time and discover the peculiarities of European eating and drinking cultures from the Palaeolithic through different epochs into the future. This part of the exhibition focuses on milestones in food history, but also on topics such as sustainability among Ice Age reindeer hunters, take away food in Ancient Rome, vegetarianism around 1900 or what modern pizza has to do with “local” and “global”. The future section shows a wide range of food ideas for tomorrow. For this exhibition NorthernLight designed 8 interactive exhibits.
