With a contemporary spirit in mind, the materials and the colours used also fits into the traditional method of chocolate presentation. The wood evokes the colour of the cocoa export boxes, while the the top inset glass windows are framed with dark brown metal, reminding the onlooker of the paper wrapper of the goods.

The entrance leads in from the road to the museum’s main doors through a covered porch.  Image courtesy CA/PA Architectes The museum is designed in such a way that the visitor progresses through the different stages of the production of the raw chocolate and its mixing methods.The final configuration of the actual chocolate is made under the direction of the laboratory. Thus, the visitor is under the impression that she/he is standing inside a factory and not in a museum. Wide glass panels above the machinery makes the image of a chocolate factory much more appealing.
