The museum is about 10 minutes from downtown Strasbourg.[1] The museum is entered through a small courtyard with storefronts that copy the style of Paris in the day of the Marquise de Sévigné.[2] There are various areas that explore different themes, a demonstration workshop, a conference room where seminars can be held and a restaurant.[3] The exhibits and media describe the history of use of cocoa beans, starting with the Aztecs.
