From the museums on everyone’s bucket list to the ones set apart by stunning design, there’s a museum out there to cater to everyone’s safeties these days — particularly bon vivant.
At these 5 museums, paramours of cooking culture will have the chance to learn about the history of some of the world’s most well-known foods (just think of all the unflappable froth you’ll have at the ready for your next dinner party).
#Le Musée Du Chocolat, Paris, France
‘All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt,’ wrote famous American cartoonist, Charles M. Schulz.

He couldn’t be more precise! If you’re a chocolate fanatic like my best friend, then the chocolate museum of Paris certainly needs to be on your bucket list. Also known as Choco-Story, the museum has over 1,000 exhibits that cover everything from the beginning of cocoa beans to commercialization of chocolate-making. Moreover, you can also taste delightful treats made by expert chocolatiers or create one yourself at one of the workshops. Sounds creative!

It stocks a cosmic collection of cheese-related tools along with co-operative displays and presentations for kids. If you get a chance to visit Alkmaar between April and September, don’t forget to check out its world-famous cheese market.
#Deutsches Currywurst Museum, Berlin, Germany
Currywurst is a German fast-food favourite. The eccentric museum offers a sneak-peek into the exciting history of the fried sausage dish. You can listen to the story of its origin on a sausage-shaped telephone while sitting on a sausage-shaped couch.

What’s more, you can play currywurst-themed video games, prepare a virtual sausage using interactive exhibits, take some photographs behind a mock-currywurst bar, and of course, wrap down a few spicy samples. A little Currywurst carnival is waiting for you.
#Pizza Brain, Philadelphia, United States

Curated by pizza enthusiast Brian Dwyer, this eccentric museum lines the world’s largest collection of pizza trappings. And if surfing through all those pizza-themed books and action figures makes you a little hungry, you can head over to the attached pizzeria to hog on a few slices.
#The Coffee Palace in Santos, Brazil
Santos’s Coffee Museum, or Museo do Café is located in the building that was once the centre for Brazil’s Coffee Stock exchange.

The museum, labelled a palace, certainly looks splendid with its 120-ft tall clock tower and stained-glass images of Mercury, god of commerce, and Ceres, goddess of agriculture. This is a great place to go to learn about Brazil’s history and culture, especially if you enjoy a good Brazilian brew.
Now book the tickets and pack your bags, it’s time to take your taste buds on an exploratory journey!
