Let's start with Bruges' Choco Story. Sadly by the time we arrived there, it was 16:30, or 30mn from closing time. so we had to go through it quickly. Still, it gave a good overview of how cocoa beans were discovered, which birds ate them, and the complicated process to turn them into yummy chocolate :) (they also had a demo showing how to make a specific kind of chocolate):

pretty, that bird that eats the cocoa beans :)

the beans are colorful too

Choco frites, really? :)

all the reasons why chocolate is good for your health :)

yummy samples to try on the way out :)

A few days later, while in Bruxelles, we went to see the Chocolage Village Museum, which sure took its museum job seriously, and had even more displays:

fantastic model of the basilica

atomium

They also had a place where wthey were growing real cocoa plants:

chocolate is easy

a 'mere' 15 steps...

I quite enjoyed their poster and comics collection too:

you be a good boy and you get chocolate, simple :)
