World Food Day 2022 – Mongolian Traditional Food Culture Exhibition at the National Museum of Mongolia

by news

The special exhibition entitled “Mongolian Traditional Food Culture” organized on occasion of World Food Day 2022 was held at the Special Exhibition Hall of the National Museum of Mongolia from October 14 to November 30, 2022.

The exhibition was organized in partnership with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Mongolia and the National Museum of Mongolia.

The exhibition was curated under 4 themes, which included “Crop Production”, “Meat and Game”, “Dairy”, and “Traditional Tea Culture” in addition to a section that reflected the archaeological development of Mongolian traditional food culture from the Bronze and Stone Ages onwards. The 4 themes were meant to correlate and correspond with the FAO’s 4 Betters, which each theme reflecting how its traditional aspects were either retained or impacted the 4 Betters in Mongolia’s current food and agricultural sector.

Artistically, the exhibition was curated under the theme “Leave no one behind”, which was emphasised through large quantities of artefacts and items that were either identical or similar. This was meant to reflect “abundance”, which Mongolia has traditionally been able to provide through their traditional food culture. Moreover, the idea of abundance correlating with the theme “Leave no one behind” was meant to show how if traditional aspects of Mongolian food culture was adopted or re-examined, it could offer potential means to address current issues, such as nutritional deficits and food security.

The exhibition received a minimum of 80-100 guests per day.
