This weekend me and my girlfriend were in a Zagreb chocolate museum.
The Zagreb chocolate museum is the perfect place for every chocolate lover. The whole idea was chronologically present history of chocolate.
At the entrance first you will get hit by sweet, sweet smell of chocolate. Tickets for two of us was just over 15 euros. And the best thing? you can eat your tickets!!

As you can see over every box is a picture, and you can find the same one in the museum. When you find picture open the box and try it.

First stop is a history of coco beans. There you can try real coco beans (it is not delicious) and read about its ritual use in ancient America.
After that you go to another room where you can try pure coco pasta. I was really excited and took a full spoon of it. Almost choke myself, it is really bitter.
There you can read about Europeans discovering chocolate.
Next one is, to me, one of the most beautiful rooms there. you can try the first idea of chocolate milk and read all about their ideas and mistakes.

In the next room we were for about half an hour, and came back two times. Why? Well, because there is chocolate fountain and 3 pumps with unlimited white, milk, and dark chocolate. We understood that "unlimited" little bit too literal. After that you can forget about launch, and if you are like us, probably dinner.
Also, there is a huge box with a variety of smells and seeds where you can put your nose or hand and try to figure it out what is inside. It is probably for kids, but we had a great time playing with that.

Fifth room is dedicated to first chocolate factories and their development to what today we know as real chocolate.
Also, you can read about inventions of nuttela, praline, chocolates, kinder eggs and many more.

After that you go into a room of white "chocolate". Here you can learn about its invention and use. Before Corona in this room were workshops every day where you could make your own chocolate, play with many ingredients and molds. Unfortunately, due to corona we could not make it. But maybe it's better this way, I am not sure that we could take one more bite without bursting.

And last, but not least. A room dedicated to the new type of chocolate! Ruby!
I won't tell you anything about it because it is worth to investigate and look about it for yourself. In this room is also something beautiful that yet needs to be completed. The idea is to collect stories from all around the World about people and how chocolate changed their life. There are already a few of them, and they are really worth reading it.
One day there will be stories on those boxes.

After you exit exhibition you get back at the entrance. But it is not over. There you can buy all kinds of chocolate, and chocolate products. I bought dark chocolate and chocolate tea (yes, that is a thing) and i am thinking going back for more.
