My favorite exhibit at the American History Museum was
Julia Child's kitchen. Before you even notice the kitchen, though, there's a giant flat screen TV where it was airing a 90 minute video about celebrity cooks reminiscing about working with Julia Child. The video also showed Julia from her younger days and of her golden years. She was hilarious all throughout. I even watched the episode where they killed a live lobster on air. After 45 minutes of watching the video, we decided we had to move on if we wanted to see the rest of the museum.

This is the entrance to her kitchen, where guests would see first as they came through the front door of Julia Child's home.

The original copper pots and pans that Julia Child used.

True to form, the walls had outlines of all the pots so that Julia would remember which pot hung where.

Bon appetit!
