Food: Beyond the Plate

22 Mac – 29 Jun, 2025

Penerangan

We all need food. It sustains human life on earth. It can bring us joy or cause us concern. It can evoke happy memories or remind us of hard times. Food can help us mark special occasions in life and celebrate religious festivals.

But do you really know where your food comes from? What is the history of food production in Britain? How does it compare with other parts of the world?

RAMM’s new exhibition delves into these stories and many more that are beyond the plate. Drawing on RAMM’s wide-ranging collections from Devon, Britain and the world, it will explore the sometimes-controversial histories of hunting, fishing, farming and international trade that have defined the food we eat.

This exhibition was funded with support from: RAMM Development Trust, Friends of RAMM, The Aurelius Charitable Trust, Exeter Friend Legal Services, Shillingford Organics and a private donor.
