Bouan Appetit!

We are what we eat! An exhibition celebrating Jersey’s rich heritage of farming, fishing and food

Details

  • 15 July 2023 - 30 December 2023
  • Jersey Museum & Art Gallery and Victorian House

Our Island identity is shaped by the landscape, our south-facing côtils, the sea that surrounds us. From our iconic Jersey Royal potatoes to our world-famous Jersey cows to our stunning shellfish, Jersey is celebrated for its food. Step back in time to find an Island covered in apple orchards when cider was our major export, explore the future of farming in an Island with a growing population, and discover some of our local specialities like the famous ‘merveille’ or Jersey wonder. Our new exhibition will give you plenty of food for thought!
