The presentation separates the two worlds by dealing with formal religion inside the church building and placing superstition outside the church. A remarkable aspect of the exhibitions is the virtual absence of textual aids. It works well in a spatial sense and, ultimately, makes the story even more comprehensible, says the designer. A visual approach to the subject has produced an aesthetically pleasing result. Wall units are filled with cooking utensils from various historical periods.
Sound recordings provide extra insight into the content of the exhibition.
A truly literal interpretation of the theme is nowhere to be found. Pans of food are represented by plain aluminium containers featuring Duratrans display transparencies of prepared dishes. Although textual information is part of this exhibition, it is presented in a subtle manner. Visitors interested in recipes can turn the handles of coffee mills secured to the edges of the tables. Each time a particular recipe is consulted, the dish referred to lights up in the corresponding pan.
