Fall semester is underway and students are once again using the museum as a research, study, and relaxation location on campus.

This fall we have two days of tours planned for the general public - Oct. 30th & 31st at 10 am and 1 pm. Tickets are currently available via the events.com link below.

The Culinary Arts Museum Tour and Tasting will include a walking tour of the exhibits with a professional staff member, a treat provided by JWU Catering, and time to revisit an exhibit or two on your own. The tour will include highlights from the collection honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary July 4th, 2026. Community cookbooks showcasing the organizations and people of Rhode Island will lead our RI250 celebration. The tasting includes complimentary sweet treats and house-brewed seasonal chilled tea. This is a ticketed timed event with tours starting at the beginning of the reservation window.

A little Pi (Pie) Day fun... found at Johnson & Wales University in the museum's online collections database records.

Happy Pi (Pie) Day! We found "acute" Pie Marker in the collection of the Culinary Arts Museum.

Call us irrational, but while it is a great way to make sure your slice has all the right angles, we suggest measuring with your heart.

You can find this marker plus other pie artifacts in the Culinary Arts Museum collection at https://culinaryartsmuseum.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/FB7C0683-3944-419C-BFE8-266649219472
