Chocolate Nation, Chocolate museum at Koningin Astridplein, Antwerp, Belgium
Located across from Central Station, Chocolate Nation presents fourteen themed rooms showcasing Belgian chocolate making through interactive displays and demonstrations over 4,000 square meters.
The museum chronicles Belgium's chocolate heritage from the arrival of cocoa beans at Antwerp's port, which became Europe's primary cocoa storage facility in the 1900s.
The exhibits highlight Belgian praline-making techniques, featuring machines that demonstrate traditional preparation methods while explaining regional differences in chocolate production across Belgium.
The museum's guided tours include multilingual audio devices and chocolate tasting sessions, with visits lasting between 60 to 90 minutes through chronologically arranged exhibition spaces.
A massive mechanical installation demonstrates chocolate tempering processes, allowing visitors to understand how cocoa beans transform into the characteristic Belgian chocolate texture.
