ROAMING LOCATION 2 – TEULADA MORAIRA AUDITORIUM

ROAMING LOCATION 1 – MUA-MUSEUM UNIVERSITY ALICANTE

SPECIES. THE UNIVERSE OF TASTE.

The exhibition was organized by the Carmencita Chair of Gastronomic Flavor Studies of the University of Alicante, the Gasterra Mediterranean Gastronomy Center together with the Teulada Moraira Auditorium and the University of Alicante Museum.

The exhibition highlights the importance throughout history of the use of spices. A room full of aromas that transport the visitor to millenary times. The sets are distributed on recycled cardboard tables accompanied by explanatory panels made of the same material, highlighting the commitment between sustainability and design.

The sinuosity of the architecture, the resolution with a single constructive material and the sum of interpretation tools such as natural plants, processed spices, places where you can have the intimate experience of the smell with the spice, the colors and images of the origin, its different natural formats, culinary applications, etc., make the museum support a catalyst for a “total experience” about spices and the ancestral.

The travelling exhibition “Spices: El Universo del Sabor – Espècies, L’univers del gust” was inaugurated at the University of Alicante Museum (MUA) where it could be visited from 31 January to 7 April 2019.

Cardboard, the chosen construction material, gives the exhibition respect for the environment, a “soft” and friendly format, light, sensual, often shapeless, so that the experience of “closing your eyes and smelling” takes place in a fluid and luminous, comfortable and lively environment.

The Auditori de Teulada Moraira (Alicante) hosted, as a second venue, this exhibition from 11 July to 28 October of the same year.

At this time it continues its journey by giving away the experience of spices and their perfumes in different parts of the peninsula.
