Julia Child made cooking fun. She inspired millions to take to the
kitchen and appreciate the pleasures of making and eating good
food. In 1995, Julia had the foresight to establish The Julia Child
Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts to further her
far-reaching impact as a teacher and mentor after her death. Since
2004, the Foundation, through grants made to other non-profit
organizations and by presenting the Julia Child Award, continues
Julia's legacy, educating and encouraging others to live well
through the joys of cooking, eating and drinking well.
The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum,
education, and research complex, with 19 museums and the National
Zoo—shaping the future by preserving our heritage, discovering new
knowledge, and sharing our resources with the world. The
Institution was founded in 1846 with funds from the Englishman
James Smithson (1765–1829) according to his wishes "under the name
of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase
and diffusion of knowledge." We continue to honor this mission and
invite you to join us in our quest.
