Disgusting Food Museum : info and guided tour

About Disgusting Food Museum

Located in Malmö, the Disgusting Food Museum is an unusual museum dedicated to foods considered repulsive in different cultures. At Södra Förstadsgatan 2, it brings together a selection of ingredients, dishes and smells that question the boundaries between disgust, curiosity and food traditions. The experience is designed as a visit that is both sensory and cultural.

The venue was created as a public exhibition, with scenography that presents each food item through display cases, explanatory panels and olfactory devices. The aim is not to shock for the sake of it, but to show that what seems strange in one country may be appreciated elsewhere. This approach is part of its identity and explains its international reputation.

The museum is known for its collection of iconic products from around the world, often linked to strong flavors, surprising textures or unusual preparations. Visitors can discover well-known examples of fermentation, offal or marine ingredients. The visit mainly highlights the cultural context of each food, beyond simple provocation.

In a contemporary and compact setting, Disgusting Food Museum offers an original perspective on eating habits. Its appeal lies as much in the objects on display as in the way they are presented, with a carefully designed and educational layout. It is one of Malmö’s most unique places to understand the relationship between cuisine, identity and perception.
