Julia Child: A Recipe for Life

Embark on a journey of culinary mastery through sight, sound and smell at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) with “Julia Child: A Recipe for Life” on view March 16-Sept. 2. The exhibition explores the key ingredients in Julia Child’s personal journey, which became part of America’s culinary revolution, through a series of immersive experiences. Julia’s insatiable curiosity and tenacious spirit drove her to endlessly try, test, and teach how to make delicious food. Learning to cook empowered Julia, and she empowered others, profoundly transforming American cuisine and food culture in the process. Displays exclusive to the exhibition’s showing at VMHC will highlight Julia’s connections to Virginia and the influence of French cooking in the Commonwealth’s culinary history.
