Time travel of cocoa
Our new exhibition
Discover the "Time travel of cocoa": Our new exhibition through 5,000 years of cocoa history!
From June 24, 2025, we will be presenting our new permanent exhibition - immerse yourself in the fascinating history of cocoa from its origins in Ecuador to modern chocolate production.
Discover how cocoa went from a mysterious potion of ancient cultures to a luxury good for kings and finally to the popular chocolate for everyone. The exhibition takes you on this journey in a multimedia and sensory way, highlighting not only the pleasurable aspects, but also critical chapters such as the colonial era.
Marvel at historical exhibits, find out interesting facts about the everyday life of the "Stollwerck girls" and learn how the role of women in the chocolate industry has changed over time.
More than just history!
Your visit will be an experience for all the senses:
- Meet the Maître Chocolatier in the glass chocolate factory and see live how chocolate is made.
- Let yourself be enchanted by the colorful experience "Chocolate is a feeling".
- And of course: don't miss the legendary chocolate fountain and try some fresh Lindt chocolate!
The Chocolate Museum combines history with the present and pleasure with responsibility. Come by and rediscover the magic of cocoa and chocolate!
