Museo del Chocolate de Barcelona

Exhibition on the history of chocolate in Barcelona, housed in the former Sant Agustí monastery, with a route through several rooms, sculptures made of chocolate and a tasting included in the visit.

The exhibition traces the role chocolate played in Barcelona's economy and society from the 15th century, when the city served as a centre of trade and distribution of this product. Throughout the rooms, the route explains that influence and places it within the urban context of each period.

Among the works on show, the sculptures made of chocolate stand out, accompanying the historical narrative. On entering, each visitor receives a bar of chocolate to sample. The museum occupies the former monastery of Sant Agustí, at number 36 Carrer del Comerç, in the Sant Pere district of Barcelona.

It is a proposal designed for anyone who wants to learn about the history of chocolate in the city by following the route through the rooms. The space is adapted for wheelchair users and has a café, where hot chocolate is served and additional sweets are sold.
