Abstract
Foodways have become a significant area of interpretation in museums globally. This paper shares three ways in which the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C., has provided visitors with options to learn more about and engage with Black culinary food practices: programs, exhibition content, and the acquisition of key collection objects such as the Ebony Test Kitchen.
