Gabrielle Draps, who was married to famous chocolatier Jo Draps, opened this museum in 1998. It explores the history of chocolate from the Mayans to the modern times. Exhibits take you through the process of making chocolate. There’s a small but amusing collection of chocolate themed items such as chocolate dresses, pots, cups and sculptures. Of course there is a tasting session. True chocolate lovers can even take part in chocolate and praline making workshops. Don’t have too high expectations though; the museum is the love child of an amateur.
