Choco-Story Brussels

Choco-Story Brussels is a chocolate museum located just behind the Grand Place, on Rue de la Tête d'Or/Eikstraat. The museum is independent of the neighbouring BELvue Museum and tells the history of cocoa from the Central American Mayans, the arrival of chocolate in Europe and the worldwide recognition of Belgian chocolate craftsmanship. Interactive exhibits, historic artefacts, a chocolate fountain and live demonstrations by a master chocolatier make for a sensory experience with a tasting.

The museum is housed in a historic building that has been adapted for wheelchair users. The entrance is accessible and all floors can be reached by lift. The exhibition spaces are step-free and spacious enough for a wheelchair. The live chocolate demonstration can easily be followed from a seated position. An accessible toilet is available in the museum.

Parking in Brussels city centre is difficult; the Grand Place or Albertine car parks have accessible spaces a few minutes away. Public transport (metro De Brouckère or Central Station) is the best option. The area around the Grand Place is partly cobblestoned; the museum itself is in a pedestrian zone. A visit combines ideally with the Grand Place itself and the MIM or the Comic Strip Center.
