From rainforest treasure to luscious treat—immerse yourself in the story of chocolate.

A gift for the gods. A symbol of wealth and luxury. An economic livelihood. Bonbons. Hot fudge. Candy bars. For thousands of years humans have been fascinated with the delicious phenomenon that we call “chocolate.”

Journey through history to get the complete story behind the tasty treat that we crave in Chocolate, an exciting exhibition developed by The Field Museum. Chocolate: The Exhibition will engage your senses and reveal facets of this sumptuous sweet that you've never thought about before. You'll explore the plant, the products, and the culture of chocolate throught the lenses of science, history, and popular culture.
