Plated Masterpieces: A Food Artventure with Giulia Bernadelli at MINT Museum of Toys
MINT Museum of Toys is collaborating with Lil Palette to bring you an experience unlike any other found in Singapore! It introduces a fresh, engaging way for people to connect through a blend of lifestyle, art, food and drinks in the museum.
Set within the museum’s Childhood Favourites level where the atmosphere evokes a sense of familiarity and happy memories for adults, be intrigued by the museum’s vintage toy collection such a Sea View Hotel Chef Doll made in 1940, Singapore.
At the heart of this experience is Italian artist Guilia Bernadelli who uses food as a medium to bridge connections, allowing guests to create edible, thought-provoking art including transforming coffee spills into breathtaking works of art!
This unique multi-sensorial experience invites you to get to know about the museum – through art, food, and shared experiences.
