Museum of Food and Drink
Art galleryMuseum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) is a museum in DUMBO, Brooklyn, that explores food as a lens on culture, migration, identity, power, and community rather than focusing solely on ingredients or nutrition. The museum has mounted more than 25 exhibitions and produced over 250 public programs, reaching more than 500,000 visitors and educating students from over 500 local schools. Its exhibitions trace how culinary traditions travel and transform across generations, using food history to examine broader social narratives. MOFAD frames its approach with the tagline "food is culture," emphasizing the people and places behind what we eat over recipes or techniques alone.
