This new art and culture exhibit explores the transformation of the 20th century kitchen and highlights the iconic "Frankfurt Kitchen," designed in 1926-7 by architect Grete Schutte-Lihotzky. The exhibit displays the shift from kitchens that were previously built in a basement or annex to becoming a symbol of modern thinking in the domestic sphere and a testing ground for new materials, technologies and power sources. The exhibit further explores kitchens and how they are connected to our relationship to the food we eat, family life, attitudes towards the role of women, consumerism and political ideology in the post-war world.
