World’s Greatest Chocolate Museums

Some museums may have an exhibit or a small display about chocolate but there are a few museums around the globe that are dedicated exclusively to chocolate.  I wish my state had a chocolate museum, but alas, we have the Mustard Museum!

Here is a list of the top ten chocolate museums to visit before you die, as recommended by VirtualTourist.com:

  1. The Cologne Chocolate Museum; Cologne, Germany
     
  2. Musee Les Secrets du Chocolat; Geispolsheim, France
     
  3. Pannys Amazing World of Chocolate, Phillip Island Chocolate Factory; Newhaven, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia
     
  4. Choco-Story Chocolate Museum; Bruges, Belgium
     
  5. Museu de la Xocolata; Barcelona, Spain
     
  6. The Chocolate Museum (Musee du Chocolat); St. Stephen, New Brunswick
     
  7. Choco-Story Chocolate Museum; Prague, Czech Republic
     
  8. Candy American Museum, Wilbur Chocolate; Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA
     
  9. Chocolate Museum; Jeju-do Island, South Korea
     
  10. Nestle Chocolate Museum; Mexico City, Mexico

I have to mention that I have only visited one of these on the list so far; the Wilbur Candy Americana Museum.  The collection of antique chocolate memorabilia is outstanding.  Cocoa tins, chocolate molds, and chocolate companies advertising materials show a remarkable history of chocolate in the U.S.  It is a must see!
