Milestones
1982	Viewing of museum-suitable pieces on the initiative of Hans Imhoff
1989	Exhibition in the Gürzenich on the corporate jubilee of Stollwerck AG
1993	Opening of the chocolate museum

The basis of the museum is made up of exhibits from pre-columbian Latin America, historical advertising, the chocolate cinema and the »Kultschokoladen« exhibition showing the stories of 24 famous products. A chocolate factory makes industrial production of chocolate bars, figures and truffles visible. Certainly the highlight of every visit is the chocolate spring, three metres high, where guests can taste the sweet product.
