The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to unveil another Great Moment in World History. The new installation in the museum foyer depicts the eighth-century Emperor Charlemagne enjoying his first taste of Brie de Meaux, the delightful French cheese made with cow's milk. According to Notker the Stammerer, Charlemagne was so enamoured of this cheese he required two cartloads to be sent each spring to his palace in Aachen. And each year the cheeses were anxiously selected by the Bishop of Meaux, who'd introduced Charlemagne to the Brie.
