Disgusting Food Museum, Food education museum in Malmö, Sweden
Description
The Disgusting Food Museum is an exhibition in Malmö, Sweden, displaying roughly 80 different food items from around the world, including fermented herring, roasted guinea pigs, and maggot-infested cheese from Sardinia. The arrangement allows visitors to examine these products up close and learn how different regions approach food.
History
The museum opened in 2018 at Slagthuset MMX and relocated to its current address at Södra Förstadsgatan 2 in Malmö during summer 2021. The move allowed for improved display of the growing collection.
Culture
The collection shows how food preferences shift across cultures, with items considered ordinary in one region sparking strong reactions elsewhere. Visitors experience directly how upbringing and familiarity shape what people find acceptable to eat.
Practical
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6:00 PM, and guided tours include the chance to taste selected items. Some exhibits have strong smells, so visitors should be prepared for that sensory experience.
Did you know?
Specimens are preserved under bell jars to control odors, so visitors can examine items like kale pache up close without being overwhelmed by intense smells. This approach makes the experience more approachable and bearable.
