St. Stefan University Agricultural Tool and Machine Development Museum (Gödöllő)
The history of food finding and production
A taste of the exhibition
Food is a basic element of survival. Humans have been trying to provide for 'everyday bread'. The exhibition presents the most important stations of this fight from the first humans to nowdays.
We display copies of objects from museums of the world, documents, drawings and objects to show ways of obtaining food and food production mirrored in the past 2.5 million years. We also present the history of food collecting, fishing, hunting, tools of tillage, animal husbandry and later food production.
The visitors can learn about changes in certain tools, technology and the interaction of these and food obtaining. However, we only show a typical example of tools and tehnical development.
The technical development of tools is followed at the Professional Machine Development Museum. There the visitors can learn about traditional Hungarian food, their history and their placement in modern nutrition. In the framework of the program named 'Traditions, Tastes, Regions' the visitors can learn about the history of over 300 traditional comestibles in thematic order.
