Gingerbread City Exhibition 2024

Gingerbread City is a popular annual attraction in London, organised by the Museum of Architecture. It’s the sweetest exhibition during the festive season.

Discover a whole city made entirely from gingerbread, decorated with colourful candy, frosting, gummies and biscuits. There are over 50 mouth-watering buildings on display (please, don’t eat them) that took months for artists to bake, assemble and decorate.

Every year, Gingerbread City has a new theme. This year, the exhibition is revolving around recycling.

‘Recycled City’ is exploring how buildings and places could be repurposed into biscuity landscapes while preserving their heritage and addressing social challenges, including housing and transport.

You will recognise famous London railway stations, the Battersea Power Station, the Big Ben and many other famous buildings.

To make the experience more fun, kids (and adults) can embark on a treasure hunt. Can you find all the hidden characters and little details?

The exhibition does not just offer ginger smells and incr-edible displays but shares the story of how architects and designers can help solving problems, such as climate change or sustainable living.

Sustain(ed)able Design Ideas

Photo: Urban Adventurer

This year over 100 leading architects, engineers, designers, and bakers have created not one, but 5 mini cities across different climate zones: Polar, Continental, Temperate, Dry and Tropical.

The aim is to suggest a new normal in our post-Covid world where life is more sustainable, more convenient, more affordable, and less stressful.

The different climate zones require designers and architects to take local resources and special building methods into account, as well as bring new creative ideas to the table in order to respond to climate crisis.

Gingerbread City Workshops

The Gingerbread City is not just for the eye. The exhibition is running workshops – including family workshops – that you can book separately.

The workshops are running every day and invite participants to design their own gingerbread house for different climates in order to resonate the exhibition theme.

Adult workshops are available in the evening from 6pm-7:30pm.

Family workshops run every day at different times.
