Sweet little museum (pun intended.) Very small, not much information, but we liked the little videos. The chocolate statutes were VERY impressive. TIP: Do NOT skip ordering their hot chocolate before you leave at the snack bar! It was like a combination of the best hot chocolate you've ever had with the best chocolate pudding you've ever had! That was... More

This is located near the Arc d'Triomphe. Your entry ticket is a chocolate bar. There are demonstrations on how they make chocolate but they are at specific times. These should be checked befor you go. The intricate detail of the chocolate sculptures is amazing and colorful.

Although tucked away, without being overly advertised. When you locate building, it's well worth a visit. Probably tour round in about 90 mins, but some interesting information, well set out, allowed to take photo's. The chocolate carvings are a good resemblance. There is a mini history area, including a 4 language option to read the information. There is a small... More

Maybe it's just me, and my expectations were too just too "Willy Wonka", or hampered by a past visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham (which was epic by comparison), but this museum is very disappointing. The most exciting part of the experience is getting a chocolate bar as your entrance ticket.... after that you're face with some really dull exhibits,... More

As I had a barcelona card I had to visit Chocolate museum (with barcelona card it was for "free") First of all - ticket is a bar of delicious chocolate. The museum is nice - not amazing but worth to see. There are many sculptures made of chocolate- also shown chocolate molds and described history of chocolate. You can also... More

Apart from the free chocolate and brief explanation of how coco bean is grown and its production across the world the actual museum is somewhat lacking in content. Some chocolate creations done by artists were okay but the experience was underwhelming

Interesting facts about chocolate and the history presented in very interesting manner. Several short video clips that you can play in multiple languages and learn about chocolate. Entrance ticket itself is a chocolate!

A must for chocolate lovers. Good exhibition with well thought out displays and audiovisual presentations. The entry ticket is a bar of chocolate which was munched on the way round. Inside there is a display of chocolate sculptures which is stunning to look at.

Nothing to do but walk around and 15 minutes with a bored look on your face. A bunch of chocolate sculptures and very little else.

First of all, your ticket to the museum is a chocolate bar. How fun is that? The museum isn't very large and can take 15-45 minutes to explore. There is an interesting history of chocolate and production in Catalan, Spanish, and English throughout the museum in addition to numerous statues of chocolate. It was a great time. I had a... More
