Review:
The Chocolate Museum is one of London's most unique museums, opened to the public in the city's Brixton district in 2013. The privately-operated museum is the vision of Melange Chocolate owner and artisan chocolatier Isabelle Alaya, who moved from France to the United Kingdom to start her business in 2008. It strives to inspire visitors to develop a passion for chocolate, showcasing the treat's history, development, and gourmet culinary styles. Galleries showcased throughout the free-admission museum include the Bean-to-Bar Gallery, which outlines the process of converting cacao beans into edible bars and candies, and the British History Gallery, which showcases the history of British chocolate companies like Cadbury. Other unique exhibits focus on Mayan chocolate drinking rituals, chocolate-related ads and designs, and the connections between cacao bean harvesting and slavery.
