Food, Memory, and Migration: A Tasty Exhibition at Joseph Brant Museum

There's a lot more history in your plate than you might think. *eat make share: a taste of immigration* is a travelling exhibition on now at the Joseph Brant Museum, exploring how over 400 years of immigration have shaped the way Canadians eat, cook, and gather around the table. The exhibition digs into the surprising origins of popular Canadian dishes and how individuals and communities have used food to hold onto — and share — their cultural identities. It's the kind of story that connects all of us, whether your family's been here for generations or arrived last year. What makes this one especially fun is the hands-on element. Visitors can engage with diverse food traditions through multi-sensory activities — so it's not just reading panels on a wall. Expect to smell, touch, and maybe even taste a bit of history. The exhibition runs at the Joseph Brant Museum through Sunday, September 21, 2026 — plenty of time to bring the whole family. It's a great pick for curious kids and adults alike who want to see Canadian culture through a delicious new lens.
