The aim of this study is to reveal the differences in presentation of gastronomy museums. In this context, data about the area by visiting the museum gastronomy museums in Turkey are gathered and were interviewed by museum officials. Differences in presentation of gastronomy museums were revealed by the study. In addition, information was obtained from the museum officials about how the objects exhibited in the museum were collected and the problems encountered in the museum.

Although the number of museums established in the field of gastronomy has increased, 11 museums have been visited among 20 gastronomy museums determined at the project start date. As a result of the research, it is seen that gastronomy museums generally use static display forms and dynamic display forms are used less. Display models, mannequins and information boards are used as static display forms.
