Introduction

Located by the Rhine, Cologne's Chocolate Museum is a sweet, fun and engaging museum that vividly presents the history, culture and craft of chocolate, making it a delightful experience for sweet-lovers and families alike in Cologne. Housed in a distinctive modern building shaped like a moored ship on the banks of the Rhine, the museum offers a systematic and lively exploration of every aspect of chocolate: from cocoa cultivation and harvesting (it even has a warm, humid tropical greenhouse with real cocoa trees), through its long history and culture (tracing back to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America that prized cocoa), to cocoa processing, chocolate-making techniques and tasting, educational and entertaining. The biggest draw is undoubtedly the live chocolate production line and demonstrations: visitors watch through glass as chocolate is made, and most popular of all is the famous three-meter chocolate fountain flowing with warm liquid chocolate, where staff dip wafers for visitors to taste for free, a sweet highlight. The museum shop sells a wide array of chocolates. Visiting Cologne's Chocolate Museum to learn about the sweet world of chocolate and taste the fountain treat is a joyful, fun experience for all ages.
