The hosting in Milan of the Universal Exposition in 2015 on the theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” provided the Museo with an obvious opportunity for creating a new permanent gallery. Nutrition had already been the subject of a temporary exhibition; building on that experience, when the theme of the Expo was officially announced the museum started planning a permanent one. So a few days before the opening of the Expo, the Museo inaugurated this most recent section titled #FoodPeople, with a telling tagline, “The exhibition for people who are eager for innovation”.The authors discuss to what extent the exhibition succeed in justifying its creative title.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
