U zgradi na tri sprata prikazan je čitav čokoladni svet, u kom posetilac može da putuje kroz 3.000 godina staru istoriju čokolade – od božanskog jela Asteka do modernih industrijskih proizvoda. Putovanje počinje kod drveta kakaoa, čije je botaničko ime Theobroma cacao (grčki – jelo bogova). Tu posetioci mogu da vide kako nastaje kakao i kako izgleda put do čokolade. Posebno je interesantna takozvana tropska kuća – staklenik u kojem se može videti originalno drvo kakaoa. Put vodi do male fabrike čokolade. Posetioci na licu mesta mogu da dožive kompletan proizvodni proces. Glavna atrakcija muzeja ipak je tri metra visoka čokoladna fontana. Pored nje uvek stoji radnica Muzeja i umače biskvite u čokoladu, koje potom deli posetiocima. Na drugom spratu muzeja posetilac može da sazna nešto više o počecima kulturne istorije čokolade pre 3.000 godina. Narod koji je prvi koristio kakao i od njegovih zrna pripremao pitku čokoladu bio je stari indijanski narod Olmeka, a kasnije su to činila i plemena Maja i Asteka. Nakon što je otkrivena Amerika, Španci su kakao doneli na Stari kontinent. Iako je na početku predstavljao luksuzni proizvod koji su koristili samo na dvorovima evropskih vladarskih porodica, kakao je vremenom postao pristupačan svima i danas se gotovo i ne može zamisliti domaćinstvo u kojem nema čokolade. Na poslednjem spratu sve se vrti oko čokoladnih proizvoda. Chocolate Museum The Cologne Chocolate Museum is one of the ten most visited museums in Germany. Three floors of the building are utilised to present an entire chocolate world, where the visitor can travel through the three-thousand-year history of chocolate: from the “ambrosia” of the Aztecs to modern industrial products. The journey begins with the cacao tree, which carries the botanical name "Theobroma cacao" (Greek for food of the gods). Visitors can see how cocoa is produced and how its path to chocolate looks. A particularly interesting part of the museum complex is the so-called “tropical house” – a glasshouse where you can see an original cacao tree. The tour continues at the small chocolate factory. Here visitors can experience the complete production process firsthand. However, the museum’s main attraction is a three-metre-high “chocolate fountain”. It is always manned by a museum worker, who stands next to the fountain and dips biscuits in the chocolate that are then distributed to visitors. Visitors head to the second floor of the museum to learn more about the beginnings of the cultural history of chocolate, dating back 3,000 years. The first people to use cocoa and its beans to produce drinking chocolate were the ancient Olmecs, while the same beverage was later produced by tribes of the Maya and Aztecs. Following the discovery of America, the Spaniards brought cocoa back to the Old Continent. Despite initially representing a luxury product that was only consumed in the courts of Europe’s ruling families, cocoa gradually became accessible to everyone. Everything on the top floor revolves around chocolate products. smart travel Foto: Depositphotos Foto: Depositphotos
