I just heard out about a super cool exhibit coming to the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture on Jan. 24.
“Coffee: The World in Your Cup” explores how every cup of coffee we buy and drink “connects us with a web of hidden stories around the world.”
One of the world’s most widely traded commodities, coffee dramatically affects environments, cultures and economies worldwide.
Exhibit highlights include photographs, videos, public seminars, live coffee plants, an in-gallery cafe for weekend coffee tastings and demonstrations and a wall-to-wall display of coffee bags from of Northwest coffee roasters.
“This exhibit,” according to Burke exhibit coordinator Ruth Pelz, “offers visitors a chance to be more socially and environmentally aware of what they drink. Coffee really has the power to remind us of our place in the world.”
