Note the cookie jar in the picture.
I could tell this was a wartime cookbook because of the red, white, and blue color scheme with stars. Not to mention the late 1930s hairstyle on the front cover. And of course that cookie jar probably wouldn’t be in a modern cookbook.
Julia Child’s Kitchen at the Smithsonian – Culinary History Exhibit, Washington, D.C.
Image by dalecruse
Displayed in meticulous detail inside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., Julia Child’s Kitchen is one of the most iconic and beloved museum installations dedicated to American culinary heritage. These photographs offer a vivid, immersive view into the very kitchen where Child filmed three of her acclaimed cooking shows between 2000 and 2001—including Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom—before donating the entire room, including its structure, tools, and appliances, to the Smithsonian Institution.
Originally installed in her Cambridge, Massachusetts home, the kitchen reflects Child’s philosophy that cooking should be joyful, personal, and accessible. It was custom-designed in the early 1960s by her husband Paul Child, who raised the counters to suit Julia’s 6-foot-2 height and helped build an environment that encouraged her intuitive approach to cooking and teaching.
These images reveal the kitchen from multiple vantage points: the familiar pegboards of copper pots and pans arranged precisely by Paul’s hand-painted outlines; walls lined with bookshelves holding Julia’s well-loved cookbooks and scripts; and mid-century appliances such as the Garland gas stove and vintage wall oven. The famous yellow Formica table is surrounded by mismatched chairs, and even the utensils appear to be mid-recipe, frozen in time.
Every item is authentic—from the mixing bowls and whisks to the timers, mixers, and notes taped to the fridge. The Smithsonian took great care in preserving the kitchen exactly as Julia last used it, reassembling it piece by piece to maintain its sense of vibrancy and lived-in creativity. The installation doesn’t just honor a legendary chef; it tells a story about mid-20th-century domestic life, media, and the democratization of food knowledge.
Julia Child wasn’t just a cook—she was a teacher, television pioneer, and cultural bridge between French culinary traditions and American home kitchens. This space stands as a monument to her legacy. Through these photographs, viewers can experience the intimacy of her creative environment, where camera crews once roamed, and where generations of viewers learned to be fearless in the kitchen.
Visually, these photos are warm, detailed, and filled with layered textures—from the golden glow of the lighting to the shadowplay of ladles and strainers, the tight focus on domestic tools, and the careful arrangement of the mise-en-place. The images evoke not just a physical space, but the personality and purpose that filled it.
Whether you’re a food historian, a museum enthusiast, or a longtime admirer of Julia Child, these images serve as a portal into one of the most influential kitchens in American culture.
