Today, at the international gastronomy symposium Convergence in Copenhagen, Denmark’s Minister of Culture, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, announced that the Ministry of Culture will examine whether gastronomy can be formally recognized as an art form. The initiative signals a potential shift in Danish cultural policy and a broader understanding of gastronomy as a cultural and artistic discipline. The announcement, made before leading international chefs and more than 1,200 guests, highlights Denmark’s role as a global hub for culinary innovation. "Home to the New Nordic Food Manifesto, world-renowned restaurants, and the highest number of Michelin stars in the Nordic region, Denmark continues to strengthen its position as a leading destination for culinary travel and cultural experiences", says Katja Moesgaard, CEO at VisitDenmark.
