When Julia Child moved back to her home state of California in 2001, she donated the kitchen from her Cambridge, Massachusetts, home to the Museum. The exhibition features the actual kitchen, including the cabinets, appliances, cookbooks, kitchen table, and hundreds of utensils and gadgets. The exhibition gives visitors a peek into the working kitchen of one of the world’s best-known cooks, and explores how her influence as an author and host of several television series changed the way America cooks.
A replica of the kitchen plays a starring role in the new movie “Julie & Julia” with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Thirty beautiful French copper pots and pans have been reunited with the kitchen and are now on view.

The exhibition features:
- a six-burner Garland commercial range, used by Julia Child from 1956 to 2001
- a blowtorch, a tool that Julia Child popularized for browning the top of crème brulee
- Julia’s array of indispensable knives
- Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child’s groundbreaking cookbook published in 1961.
