Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
Mathers Museum Exhibit Runs Through May 1
A new exhibit exploring community and food—“Hungry Planet: What the World Eats”—is on exhibit at IU’s Mathers Museum of World Cultures. The traveling exhibit is based on the best-selling book by photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D’Aluisio, who sat down to dinner with 30 families in 24 different countries to document their meals and lives around food.
The exhibit features stories, grocery lists, and photos of each family surrounded by a week's worth of groceries, and gives visitors snapshots to compare these families with their own.
"Hungry Planet: What the World Eats” will be open to the public through May 1.
Admission to the museum is free, but the museum is encouraging visitors to bring canned goods to the exhibit for donation to the Community Kitchen of Monroe County.
The Mathers Museum Exhibition Hall and Museum Store are open:
- Tuesdays through Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Saturdays and Sundays, from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
- The Museum is closed on Mondays and during Indiana University semester breaks.
The exhibit is toured by COSI, the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio.
