Okay, so this news is 7 years old... but it's news to me that the Smithsonian made this exhibit. Interestingly, they did not recreate the room (as so many exhibits do), they actually removed items from her real kitchen in Massachusetts and schlepped it all the way to DC. Remarkable. I love how the room reflects her practicality. She's lovely. So lovely, in fact, that I recommend reading her biography. Derek and I audio booked it during a long drive (rented it from Cracker Barrel... oh the irony) but I would suggest actually reading it. The woman's voice was horrid. And on top of that, it's written in first person... and Julia had such a unique voice that I could never move past it. So for all that love Julia, make the pilgrimage to Washington DC. Bon Appetit!
