From the World of Coca-Cola in the U.S. to Japan’s Cup Noodles Museum, here are some of the most interesting food museums around the world.
Travel is always more interesting when you can experience unique local spots and taste scrumptious delicacies that you won’t find anywhere else. The Museum of Ice Cream made headlines when it debuted in 2016, and now has two locations in San Francisco and New York filled with people looking to photograph every corner. But even the less Instagram-friendly food museums have a lot to offer travelling foodies. Here are some of the most interesting and obscure.
The Butter Museum, Cork, Ireland
Ireland is the world’s largest butter market. At The Butter Museum in Cork, visitors will hear about dairy’s beginnings, when butter was preserved in bogs, and the development of the Cork Butter Exchange. Watch butter-making demonstrations; view traditional butter-making equipment, a collection of butter wrappers throughout history, and a keg of thousand-year-old butter; and learn about the amazing success story behind the iconic Kerrygold brand.
