Earlier this month, Lindt introduced its dazzling new chocolate museum—the largest of its kind worldwide—located near Zurich, Switzerland. While it doesn’t boast a Willy Wonka-style chocolate river, the museum’s impressive 30-foot chocolate fountain is equally mesmerizing.
As reported by Time Out, approximately 1500 liters of liquid chocolate flow from a golden whisk onto a massive LINDOR truffle in a continuous loop. While visitors can’t get too close, they can indulge in Lindt’s delectable treats in the tasting room after the tour. Before that, guests can explore the cutting-edge research facility on-site, where a fully visible production line reveals the secrets behind the chocolate-making process.
