Temporary exhibition ‘(R)evolutions on the Plate’ at the Cité

Exhibition (R)evolutions on our plates

From the Palaeolithic era to the plate of the future, ‘(R)evolutions on the Plate’ explores, with curiosity and a love of good food, the inventions that have transformed the way we cook and eat. An immersive and entertaining exhibition to discover at the Cité internationale de la gastronomie et du vin in Dijon.

What if your meal were more innovative than you think?

When we talk about culinary innovation, we often picture futuristic dishes, spectacular techniques and chefs who push the boundaries of creativity. Yet innovation isn’t confined to the kitchens of top restaurants: it’s also found in our everyday lives, in our actions, our recipes and even in the way we eat.

This is the very essence of ‘(R)evolutions on the Plate’, the temporary exhibition on display at the Cité internationale de la gastronomie et du vin in Dijon until 28 March 2027.

A journey through time, dish by dish

From Palaeolithic meals to those of astronauts, the exhibition invites us to trace the history of food. A dozen plates are artfully and playfully staged to reveal the inventions, improvements and, at times, genuine revolutions that have transformed the way we cook and eat.

It’s an enticing challenge: to show that even the most ordinary meal harbours a wealth of innovations. For before it is a matter of haute cuisine, innovation in the kitchen is also about finding new ways to eat, preserve, prepare and share food.

An exhibition to experience, not just to look at

Here, there’s no question of simply being a spectator. With an immersive show, hands-on activities, games, collectable items and interviews with chefs and experts, the exhibition explores the different ways of innovating in the kitchen.

The exhibition is aimed at everyone from the simply curious to gastronomy enthusiasts, families and anyone who enjoys understanding what lies behind a recipe. In particular, it explores what drives a cook – whether professional or amateur – to create a new dish or to rethink the way they eat.

And what shall we eat tomorrow?

To round off the exhibition on a decidedly forward-looking note, young designers present their vision of the plate of the future. It’s sure to leave you with some fresh ideas… and perhaps the desire to give your own kitchen a bit of a makeover.

The exhibition is sponsored by Johanna Le Pape and Jean-Paul Jeunet.
