Designed by Portuguese architect José Lourenço and installed in Space 356, in Belo Horizonte, the CRQA is covered with iron rods, bringing an immersive ambiance with curves inspired by the mountains of Minas, in a complex and well-worked architectural and exhibition design.

The CRQA will gather a permanent exhibition about Artisanal Cheese, a collaborative store, a library dedicated to gastronomy, an amphitheater for various events, a social area, and a complete classroom with a didactic kitchen for training activities in culture and gastronomy.
