It was created in just one year by the holding company "United Confectioners".
Chocolate Museum in Moscow Here are presentedexhibits from the collections of the confectionery factories "Red October", "Rot Front" and "Babaevsky", as well as an ethnographic collection brought from Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. Visitors to the museum will learn how they grow, sit on the steps of a pyramid of an ancient Mayan city, walk through the hold of a conquistador frigate, visit a laboratory, and learn about the history of old Russian enterprises (Einem, Geis, the Abrikosov and Lenov families). Among the exhibits are a sculpture of the cocoa god to whom the Mayans prayed, a cooking cauldron from the end of the 19th century (the chocolate mass was kneaded by hand in it for at least 72 hours!), molds for chocolate figures - all kinds of hares, roosters, ears of corn and leaves, old wrappers. The Chocolate Museum in Moscow is not the only one in the world. There are similar ones in Bayonne (France), Barcelona, Bruges, Caslano (Switzerland), Cologne, Prague, St. Stephen (Canada) and even in Pokrov (Vladimir Region). However, the Moscow museum has something that distinguishes it from all of the above: only here can visitors visit a working confectionery shop and see the process of making chocolate bars and candies. So far, you can only get into the museum with a group and by prior arrangement. From April, it will open its doors to individual visitors. However, also by prior arrangement and only on Saturdays.
