Let's go on the "world tour of cocoa"

Have you ever wondered how the cocoa bean travels all the way from West Africa to your chocolate? Or the hard work behind every bar? Then we have just the thing for you: The Chocolate Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary with a brand new exhibition that will take you on an unforgettable "world tour of cocoa"!

"Intowada" is the inscription on an ancient West African dugout canoe boat. It is the first exhibit that catches your eye when you start the "World Voyage of Cocoa". "Intowada" means "Don't give up hope". And that is also the message we want you to take away with you: Despite all the challenges, there are many positive developments in cocoa and chocolate production.

What can you expect?

• A journey of discovery: On over 600 square meters, you will experience the exciting journey of cocoa, from the plantations in West Africa to the finished chocolate on the supermarket shelf. It is immediately apparent: Critical aspects of these long production and supply chains are not concealed here. "Sustainability" is the common thread that runs through the entire exhibition.
• Interactive fun: discover the world of cocoa with all your senses! Numerous digital and interactive stations await you, including a giant LED globe and a multi-touch table. Here you can playfully expand your knowledge and learn more about the cultivation, transportation and processing of cocoa. In our tropical house, you can feel and experience the climate in which cocoa grows. Discover the ripening cocoa fruits on our cocoa trees.
• The transparent chocolate factory: Take a look behind the scenes of our "transparent chocolate factory"! Here you can see up close how delicious chocolate is made from roasted cocoa beans. And the best thing is: at the end, an interactive robot arm is waiting to treat you to a piece of freshly made chocolate!
• The chocolate fountain: Our three-meter-high chocolate fountain is an absolute highlight. Here you can have a nibble.

Why you shouldn't miss it: We've come up with something special for you: The new exhibition is not only informative, but also an experience for the whole family. You will be surprised at how varied and exciting the world of cocoa is. And, of course, we have also thought about the pleasure: In our "Glass Chocolate Factory" you can follow the various stages of chocolate production and, of course, taste delicious Lindt chocolate from the chocolate fountain at the end.

So, what are you waiting for? Come along and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of cocoa and chocolate! Make sure you visit our webshop and book a guided tour, a tasting or a chocolate course directly!
