It was created in just one year by the United Confectioners holding.
Chocolate Museum in Moscow Shown hereexhibits from the funds of the confectionery factories "Red October", "Rot Front" and "Babaevsky", as well as an ethnographic collection exported from Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. Visitors to the museum will learn how they grow, sit on the steps of the pyramid of the ancient Mayan city, walk through the hold of the frigate of the conquistadors, visit the laboratory, get acquainted with the history of old Russian enterprises (Einema, Geis, the Abrikosov and Lenov families). Among the exhibits are a sculpture of the god of cocoa, to whom the Mayans prayed, a brewing kettle of the late 19th century (the chocolate mass was kneaded in it by hand for at least 72 hours!), Molds for chocolate figures - all kinds of hares, roosters, ears 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 visitors can visit the operating confectionery shop and see the process of making chocolate bars and sweets. So far, you can get to the museum only with a group and by prior arrangement. From April it will open its doors to single visitors. However, also by appointment and only on Saturdays.
