The exhibition tours different locations in and around Chicago.[4] As of 2020, the Vegan Museum documents the history of plant-based lifestyles.[5] The exhibition covers the history of the Chicago Vegetarian Society (established in 1890), the Pure Food Lunch Room (Chicago’s first vegetarian restaurant, established in 1900), and the Vegetarian Times, which started in Chicago.[6]
