## About

A featured exhibition in Discovery Place Science's 45th anniversary season about the life of chef and television cook Julia Child. Visitors can step into a recreation of her television kitchen, look at handwritten recipes, personal photos and rare images, and leave a note at the Dear Julia message station. The exhibition is included with general museum admission and runs from late October through mid-January, so it can be paired with the museum's other hands-on exhibits and the IMAX Dome.
