The Science History Institute brings guests back to school with limited exhibit

PHILADELPHIA, Pennyslvania (WPVI) -- In Old City, this exhibit is taking us back to school, and back in time.

The Science History Institute's newest display discusses the history of lunchtime.

"What we're doing here in this exhibition is historicizing a very specific way of thinking about eating and about feeding," said curator, Jesse Smith.

They dive into the scientific and technological advancements when it comes to school lunches, and how that teaches us about our food systems of today.
