Archived curiosity foodstuffs in 1000 bottles used at Tokyo University for its collection.

Inside the laboratory-like Chamber to taste Curiosity, the foodstuffs that arouse curiosity (including some inedible objects) gathered by food creation and program members (Taste Hunters) are archived and displayed inside some 1000 bottles used at Tokyo University for its collection. Based on the foodstuffs collected, food creation will create new tastes expressing emotions and sensations, and offer Experiences of Taste to visitors.

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa marked its 10th anniversary on October 9, 2014. On this occasion, We were holding the 1 year exhibition Taste of Curiosity – Museum of Curiosity a program to create a banquet site for celebrating 10 years with everyone. The program was being led by food creation and Ayako Suwa a project to propose new values for the enjoyment of food and The University Museum, The University of Tokyo, which create The Chambers of Curiosities. The program is an unprecedented art museum event, taking taste as a theme in harkening back to the original impulse behind the museum concept - curiosity.

The program had been developed in stages toward an exciting climax as a banquet.
