Horribly delicious
The exhibition ‘Gruwelijk Lekker’ at the Dutch Open Air Museum explores how tastes and eating habits have changed over time. What was once considered a delicacy can now be perceived as disgusting, and vice versa. The exhibition illustrates how taste, smell, appearance, image, and cultural taboos influence our judgments about food. Did you know that dog meat was once on the menu, and that garlic only later became a staple in our cuisine?
For this exhibition, Collectief Soepel handled the complete concept and execution. We designed ten unique kitchen modules, each inspired by a taste and a historical period from the Canon of the Netherlands. Each module offers an intriguing view of changing eating habits through the centuries. The kitchen modules were crafted with specially designed tiles from Dtile, ensuring a visually striking and thematically coherent presentation.
