ZAGREB, 25 November 2019 – To the delight of all chocolate lovers, today, 25^th of November, the first Croatian museum dedicated to chocolate has opened its doors to the public.

Muzej čokolade Zagreb (Museum of Chocolate Zagreb), located at Varšavska 5 in downtown Zagreb, is a theme park dedicated to chocolate, its historical, geographical and cultural significance. The idea of opening the Museum of Chocolate in Zagreb came from passionate chocolate lovers, married couple Ružica and Domagoj Cerovac. The concept of space was designed by themselves, and their fairy-tale vision was completed by Željka Zrnić, a collaborator of the Museum, who, to the smallest detail, decorated every corner of the premises.

Through an interactive approach, the museum’s exhibition and scenery will take visitors on a journey through time and space, arousing their senses of sight, smell, touch, hearing and of course-taste. Visitors will follow the path of the creation of chocolate from cocoa beans in Mesoamerica, through chocolate drinks at European courts to the exclusive praline of today.

All chocolate lovers at the Museum store are also offered the opportunity to buy products from the assortment of small Croatian artisan chocolatiers. The idea is to connect the true lovers of chocolate with experienced producers of this exceptional food.
