FEAST & FAST AT THE FITZ CULTURE P I CK
Food, glorious food is at the heart of the FitzwilliamMuseum’s latest exhibition, Feast and Fast , a fresh take on the history and culture of eating. The exhibition showcases treasures from the Fitzwilliam and other collections, and features three historical reconstructions by food historian Ivan Day which aim to provoke discussion around issues such as our relationship with animals and nature, and over- consumption in times of austerity. The exhibition runs until April and on the museum’s lawn for its duration is a huge golden pineapple, four metres tall and illuminated at night! The fruit, “discovered” by European colonists, was once an emblem of power. Now it comes in a can and is a symbol of the fair-trade movement. Nearly 300 objects are on display, including items from the university library, five colleges, Wisbech and Fenland Museum and Holkham Hall. fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk
