Chocolate Museum Zagreb (TICKETS)

In the Museum you can learn about the history of chocolate, how it has changed over time, who consumed it, and in what forms. You can learn how it is produced, you can test your senses, and try to recognize the ingredients that go into chocolates.

You can see ancient Aztec sculptures, porcelain chocolate makers from baroque European courts, tins of chocolate drinks from the time of the Industrial Revolution, and chocolates from the first Croatian factories. You will also be able to taste chocolate – a total of nine types, each at its own time. You can expect content adapted for children and adults, available in Croatian and English.

The Chocolate Museum Zagreb was inspired by a family visit to a European chocolate museum. Unfortunately,  the 11-year-old daughter of founders Ružica & Domagoj found it boring, which led them to reflect on what they would like to see in such a museum. They discussed their expectations as parents, and what their almost four-year-old son would enjoy. They agreed that they wanted more interactive content, an abundance of easily accessible historical information, a hand-picked chocolate-tasting offer, and a unique story that was clear and engaging.

After much discussion, they decided that they wanted a complete experience that satisfied all their senses and followed a given narrative through the story of chocolate history. They wanted to be taken on a journey that allowed them to listen to the rainforest when learning about the Aztecs, sit on a baroque sofa while discovering hot chocolate recipes at European courts, and enjoy ruby chocolate while exploring the present-day chocolate industry.

So they defined Chocolate Museum Zagreb’s mission as enriching visitors and employees by taking them on a journey through the world of chocolate, immersing them in its cultural, historical, and social aspects, thus creating an experience for all the senses. After such an experience, everyone should be fulfilled and go home with a smile because they had a good time, were culturally enriched, and educated.
