The Chocolate Story


Now on View through April 25

 

 

Be sure to join us for Sweet Escape Weekends!

 

Previously on view at the Discovery Museum in 2004 under the title Chocolate: Tree to Truffle, this luscious  exhibit educated tens of thousands of visitors who wanted to learn about the food that brings so many smiles to so many faces.

 

Because of its popularity, we felt it was time to update and bring back this delicious exhibit that teaches our visitors about the cacao tree and the history of chocolate.  From its beginning as a potent and magical drink used by the Aztecs to its current worldwide popularity, The Chocolate Story takes visitors on an educational and fun journey with artistic text panels, videos, displays, and even the scent of chocolate wafting through the air.
