Key Exhibition Themes

Julia’s Persistence and Tenacity

Overcoming challenges and embracing failure. Throughout her life, especially in a male-dominated culinary industry, Julia faced many obstacles. However, through her perseverance, Julia found success and enjoyment in her career.


A Lust for Life

Going boldly where curiosity takes you. When Julia’s spark was lit, whether for adventure or for education, she found joy in the experiences that life led her to.


Authenticity

Being unapologetic and true to yourself. In a period when the expectations of women’s domestic responsibilities were clearly defined, Julia broke the mold of society to follow her dreams.


Relationships

Relying on and supporting good team members. While Julia was a self-made culinary icon, she never failed to recognize and appreciate her family, friends, and colleagues as integral supporters of her career.
