Fork of Vevey
Fork of Vevey (French: La Fourchette de Vevey) is an 8-metre-tall (26 ft), 1.3-metre-wide (4.3 ft) stainless steel fork on the shore of Lake Geneva in Vevey, Switzerland. Fork of Vevey is a part of the Alimentarium, a Vevey-based museum with a permanent exhibition on food and Nestlé's history.[1][2] The fork was initially created in 1995 by the Swiss artists Jean-Pierre Zaugg and C.Toda to mark the Alimentarium's tenth anniversary.[3] The fork was removed in 1996 but reinstated about a decade later, following a public petition. The Alimentarium claims that the Fork of Vevey is the world's largest fork,[4][5] and since 2014 the Guinness Book of World Records has listed it as such,[6][7] but there is a larger fork (11 metres (36 ft) long) in Springfield, Missouri,[8] and an even larger one (12 metres (39 ft) long) in Creede, Colorado.[9]
