Culinary Arts Museum

The Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University is an educational resource for JWU students, as well as the community-at-large, food scholars and the food service industry.

US News & World Report recently singled out the museum as “one of the best things to do in Providence,” while CNBC praised its devotion to regional culinary culture in a recent article naming Providence as one of the America's top foodie cities.

The museum both preserves and interprets the history and development of the culinary and hospitality industries, and is a showcase for the work of JWU faculty, students, alumni and visiting chefs.

Recent exhibits have included “Creative Survival: African American Foodways in Rhode Island,” “Rhode Island: Small State, Big Taste!” and “Diners: Still Cookin in the 21st Century.” View current exhibitions.

The museum is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm (except major holidays). For more information, contact Richard Gutman, curator, at 401-598-2805 or by email.
