Probably my favorite moment while I was in the Museum of American History was when I got to spend a few minutes in Julia Child's kitchen.
It's her kitchen from her Boston home and it came over, lock, stock and 3 legged chair. Everything is as it was.
They even mention that it was used for several of her later shows, like Baking with Julia.
Camera angles are mentioned and how they made the shows is explained.
They even have her vast collection of cookbooks there.
It was truly a homey place.
You can just feel how her and her family lived and cooked in the room.
My favorite part was that they had a wonderful photo of Julia laughing.
I thought it was too wonderful and human.
She was a special person and she is greatly missed.
I would like to see that exhibit. Julia had a wonderful attitude towards cooking and enjoying food with friends.
ReplyDeleteI love the American History Museum!! That exhibit wasn't there last time I was; gotta get there and see it. Julia Child was one of my idols -- she had such joie de vivre and such a sensible attitude toward food and enjoyment of same.
ReplyDeleteI met her once, when they had a fundraiser here at my station. She was truly a wonder and so down to earth.
ReplyDeletePiglet and Denise, I totally recommend seeing the exhibit.
