The Museum Opened on 16 June, 2012

The Museum of Forks opened the exposition to the layman and professional public on Saturday 16 June, 2012. On that day there were various accompanying activities to underline the importance of the event. Nothing commercial. Don't even think about it…It was just the forkies and the forkologists, demonstrating their enthusiasm and dedication - across the cultures and across the genres.
