The German Museum for Culinary Art and Table Culture opened on November 25, 2015 in Frankfurt am Main . It sees itself in the tradition of the culinary art museum of the International Association of Chefs, which existed from 1909 to 1937 , whose stored collection was completely destroyed in the Second World War. The holdings of today's museum, however, include items from the German Restaurant Museum , which existed in Frankfurt am Main from 1941 to 1944.
The operator of the museum is the Verein Deutsche Tafelkultur e. V. , while the museum's collection items belong to the TafelKulturStiftung founded by the association . With the acquisition of the menu and menu card collection from the Hamburg collector Wolfgang Gross, the largest collection of menu cards and menus is in Frankfurt am Main.
