Julia Child: A Recipe for Life Now Open
Cincinnati Museum Center’s new exhibit, Julia Child:A Recipe for Life is NOW OPEN! Families can visit the exhibit through May 18th, 2025. Admission is included with membership or daily admission.
The exhibit follows Julia Child’s life as a chef, but also as a pioneer woman who paved the wave for those who have gone on to follow in her footsteps. Following her upbringing, time spent serving our country, her accolades, awards and innovations, the exhibit leaves a lasting impression of Julia Child’s zest for life.
Cincinnati Family Magazine was lucky enough to check out the exhibition and we left with the overwhelming feeling of “Wow, I did not know Julia Child was that cool.” Long before Julia brought French cuisine to America, she was already doing iconic things with her life. Julia was not afraid to stand out (she was literally 6 foot 2) and go against the grain. In a time when writing and editing were thought to be men’s trades, Julia wrote and Julia edited. She used her height to step onto the court and played basketball for her college team. In a time of turmoil, Julia enlisted and worked for the Office of Strategic Services (the precursor to the CIA). All of this makes for an interesting and unique life story, but Julia also had a groundbreaking career as a chef, TV personality and cookbook author extraordinaire. A trailblazer in all facets of life, Julia’s recipe for life included ingredients like curiosity, boldness, passion and inspiration.
Families who enjoy stepping into the kitchen together to cook and families who enjoy deep dives into historical figures must visit this exciting exhibit! There are many fun photo ops and hands-on experiences… there are even chances to get a *whiff* of what Julia’s culinary offerings smell like.
