in travelling •  7 years ago  (edited)

Dear Steemit friends and followers,

Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.

Today, I will certainly please all those who have sweet tooth as I will take you to the Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan.

Found in Tabor, a beautiful historic town in the South Bohemian Region of the country, the Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan is the only museum of its kind in the Czech Republic.

Opened in September 2012, the museum houses a unique collection of artifacts related to the production of cocoa and marzipan, covering the whole process from growing cocoa to manufacturing the final products.

Occupying a total area of 1,000 sq m (10,764 sq ft), the museum also hosts several interactive expositions and exhibits, allowing the visitors to learn something about the history of chocolate production, the art of packaging chocolate boxes etc.

Visitors can also try to create their own products from marzipan and chocolate in workshops and take them home as souvenirs.

I saved the best (or should I say sweetest?) for last though so let me wrapped up this post by adding the key information that there is, of course, the possibility to actually taste some chocolate and marzipan products in the museum´s Chocolateria and through special degustation programs.

i must have required a certain temperature to keep the chocolate stable and not melt.... great idea on chocolate and good piece of art.

I do not have much info on that one but I guess you must be right!

@czechglobalhosts, You're such a great helpful person who want to travel your country. Absolutely I recommend you highly. Also I tell another, Please follow travel trip series and it would be very important someday. Stay Blessed.

it's amazing friends, is your country also the best chocolate producer in the world? or is the contents of the mesium an imported chocolate from another country?

Well this is a unique & different thing for me and it really gained my attention as my nephew is the biggest fan of chocolate products. Would that he was a citizen of Tapor, to enjoy the whole process in detail.
1000 sq meter area of Museum must be visited a large no. Of people especially kids.

allowing the visitors to learn something about the history of chocolate production, the art of packaging chocolate boxes etc.

By the way thanks a lot Tomas, for sharing the wonderful spot with us ;-)

I love chocolate, it must be wonderful to be in a chocolate museum ... I had no idea that it existed, I imagine the rich smell of the museum.

Personally, i love chocolate so much. Visiting that factory would be like Adam wondering in Eden. Thanks @czechglobalhosts for great work compiled.

I like the interactive idea of the museum, I think it's excellent to participate in the objective of the place itself and more if I can take home a souvenir, 100 points for them.

Your post is very good. Thanks for posting 😎😎😎

I love Marzipan! Got a box at Austria the first time and it was so good that the next time I went I bought another box

I found it very interesting. To be honest, I've never heard about this museum and I would like to visit this place. I'm from Poland so it is not so far away :) I have already visited a Rocky Town ( Adršpach ) and I was totally impressed with it. Good luck!
