Alimentarium
A food-themed museum founded by the Nestlé Foundation, using interactive exhibits to explain the full journey of food from growing to digestion; well suited to families.
The Alimentarium was founded in Vevey by Nestlé in 1985, and its building is a 19th-century former Nestlé headquarters. Three floors of exhibits are organized around the themes of cooking, eating and digestion, with many hands-on interactive installations, a children’s kitchen workshop and nutrition education. The museum also regularly offers cooking classes and workshops, and the garden contains herbs and vegetables. Admission is about CHF 15, and it is open Tuesday to Sunday, roughly 10:00–17:00. The famous giant fork in the lake in front of the museum can be visited at the same time.
