Organic pioneer joins up with science museum
The Science Museum have announced that Helen Browning, organic pioneer, will be opening her first organic café at its 545-acre Wroughton site, an area of outstanding natural beauty in Wiltshire which is heralded to become a model of sustainable development on the scale of Cornwall's Eden Project.
The development of the National Collections Centre will make available to the nation for the first time a quarter of a million exhibits from the Science Museum, V&A and the British Museum. The focus will be on making technology fun, creating a major leisure destination.
"Helen Browning was the obvious choice for us, to provide a catering and refreshment facility for our visitors in conjunction with museum opening times throughout the year," said Joanna Neale, events manager. She is the inspiration behind a growing range of organic meat products in the supermarkets, she pioneered organic meat production in this country before an organic market even existed and is passionate about good simple food. Her 'Flying Pig' business, organic fast food trailers, has caused a stir at events this year, proving that fast can be used in the same breath as fantastic food!"
Not surprisingly named 'Helen Browning at the Science Museum', the catering facility will be sandwiched between fascinating exhibits from an unparalleled collection, such as an 1850's cider and cheese press and hand and ox drawn plough. The exhibits, the UK's best kept secret, range from the Lockheed Constellation airliner to early computers, from bicycles to hovercrafts, easily viewed in massive airline hangars, making a great family day out.
'Helen Browning at the Science Museum' will create an enticingly relaxed atmosphere from which visitors will leave feeling revitalised before continuing their mind blowing tour of the science and technology collection. An informal café, it will serve fresh organic daily specials and invite you to relax with its sofas and racks of magazines. For companies pondering how to entertain their staff or customers, they need look no further for an original venue.
Helen Browning is no stranger in the organic world. Launching Organic Week (3 – 11th September) artist Elena Gaussen chose her farm – Eastbrook - as the subject of a painting to be displayed in the 'Food for the Eye' exhibition at London's Mall Galleries. "Helen Browning is the heart and the centre of an integrated vision where the soil, plants, livestock and their offspring all combine to work naturally together," said Elena. "Hers is a remarkable concept which has been translated into reality by dedicated hard work and love, and I hope to express my admiration adequately in paint as well as words."
