ABSTRACT A pioneering food conservation exhibition (1917–1918) at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) was the result of collaboration between the Museum's Departments of Anthropology and Public Health. The AMNH was the only major natural history museum in the United States to mount an installation featuring guidelines for wartime food conservation. Its innovative displays included models demonstrating 100 calorie portions and nutritional values of commonly eaten foods, as well as examples of unutilised and underutilised food sources such as seaweed and seafood, and unfamiliar native food crops (e.g. maize). This exhibition foreshadowed modern day concerns with food sustainability and proved to be an important example of how a scientific museum could contribute to the war effort. It was also a significant departure from old-fashioned natural history displays and contemporary dioramas, as well as an experimental foray for the Museum into public policy issues of the day.

“子弹和外壳”：美国自然历史博物馆关于营养和食物保护的第一次世界大战展览

摘要 美国自然历史博物馆 (AMNH) 举办的开创性食品保护展览（1917-1918 年）是博物馆人类学和公共卫生部门合作的结果。AMNH 是美国唯一一家安装了以战时食品保护指南为特色的装置的主要自然历史博物馆。其创新展示包括展示常用食物的 100 卡路里份量和营养价值的模型，以及未利用和未充分利用的食物来源示例，例如海藻和海鲜，以及不熟悉的本地粮食作物（例如玉米）。该展览预示了现代对食品可持续性的关注，并被证明是科学博物馆如何为战争做出贡献的重要例子。
