More information on Museum van Cacao en Chocolade

In a country where the average inhabitant consumes about 8.3kg of chocolate a year, you will probably not be surprised to find a chocolate museum. Located in the corner of Grand Place, this is the place to indulge your curiosities about the history of cocoa and chocolate. From Tuesday to Sunday between 10a and 4:30p there are demonstrations by a chocolate master, as well as an opportunity for you to taste a variety of chocolates. Even better, you can buy some here, too. The museum can be rented out for parties, etc., and there are regular exhibitions held.
