Immerse yourself in the delicious world of cocoa with an unforgettable visit to Choco Story Colmar, an interactive museum where you’ll uncover all the secrets of chocolate. Located in the heart of the city, just steps from the Maison Pfister, this 1200 m² space with 18 rooms takes you on a fascinating journey through 5,000 years of history.
For approximately 90 minutes, you’ll explore immersive exhibitions featuring 3D projections, films, tastings, and encounters with experts. From cocoa cultivation to its transformation into exquisite creations, each room brings you closer to the essence of this iconic product.
With an audio guide available in English, you’ll learn about the origins of cocoa and its arrival in Europe in the 15th century. Discover its role in Mayan, Aztec, and Incan civilizations and explore the current challenges of its production. You’ll also have the chance to interact with two Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF), who will share their secrets for crafting pralines and ganaches in an innovative virtual demonstration.
The exhibition includes a fascinating collection of over 500 historical pieces, illustrating the evolution of chocolate through the centuries. You’ll also be amazed by stunning chocolate sculptures, such as a replica of the Statue of Liberty—a tribute to the famous Colmar-born sculptor Auguste Bartholdi.
