The spoon, the symbol of the Alimentarium

The Alimentarium celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010 with a new symbol: the spoon. Why? Simply because it is the most widely-used culinary utensil in the world. What could be more appropriate for the only museum in the world devoted to food in general?  

The spoon now embellishes all sectors of the Museum and its promotional material. The spoon is the perfect companion for the gigantic fork anchored in Lake Geneva, a mere stone’s throw from the Museum garden. Forks and spoons invite you to tuck into the numerous activities of the Alimentarium.
