Alimentarium

Alimentarium, Food Museum

As the world’s first museum devoted to food and nutrition, the Alimentarium has been exploring the many aspects of the human diet from a historic, scientific and cultural point of view for over 30 years. Its multidisciplinary, global and objective approach has gradually established the Alimentarium as a reference centre on the topic.

The Museum lies in Vevey, on the shores of Lake Geneva. Opposite the entrance, an 8-metre tall fork rises from the water. This landmark is the most well-known object in the Alimentarium collection and has become a major tourist attraction.
