Museum director Andreas Ahrens said in a statement that the foods are chosen for their modern relevance or historical prominence.
Museum curator Samuel West wants to change the concept of what “disgusting” food is.

“If we can change our notions of what food is disgusting or not, it could potentially help us transition to more sustainable protein sources,” he said.
