Welcome to what we're calling the world's first "Museum of Fat".

Here at The FOOD Museum we've been collecting and preserving artifacts about fat for many years. We've been researching the subject as well. It's one of our many museums within a museum.

The role of museums is to study material culture and visual arts to help understand the past. We study and exhibit the past to help inform the present and prepare for the future.

So we present here the history and social significance of fat and being fat through the ages. It's a vital and controversial subject, now being examined by anthropologists, artists, historians, writers, and musicians. It is now a subject, long overdue, for museums.
