The Chocolate Museum is a “delicious” museum in Barcelona, Spain. The museum has been built on the initiative of the Barcelona Confectionery Guild and is located in the very centre of the town. The museum exhibits a large collection of intricately carved sculptures made out of chocolate along with examples of traditional machinery that was formerly used to make chocolate during the past years. There are also activities and visits organized every week (high season only) inside the museum.

The history of chocolate is explained from the discovery of cocoa beans by the New World explorers, all the way through time to its present predominant position in the commercial world. Chocolate has always been seen with different purposes: as a medicinal element, an aphrodisiac product, a nutritional value and element located between a legend and reality.

 Among all sculptures, you can particularly appreciate a four-horse chariot, the Sagrada Familia, Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

What is a chocolate museum without metal chocolate molds. Replaced by polycarbonate molds today, metal molds still play an important part of chocolate history. The chocolate museum is open from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 7pm and on Sundays 10am to 3pm!
