Chocolate Museum in Warsaw. A Chance for Greater Wedel Exports
E.Wedel Chocolate Factory is a place dedicated primarily to chocolate, but also to the history of the Wedel family.
We are creating an innovative facility that not only presents the history and process of its production, but also becomes an educational and cultural center. We are convinced that the E.Wedel Chocolate Factory will attract both the local community, of which we are an integral part and an active participant, but also lovers of sweets from Poland and around the world – says Robert Zydel, director of the E.Wedel Chocolate Factory.
An exhibition that engages all the senses
Thanks to the virtual guides – the Ghanaian, the Chocolatier, the Confectioner and the Designer – the tour becomes an interactive adventure.
The tour begins on level 0, in the Ghanian Space, where we will learn how cocoa beans are obtained and stored, as well as what processing they need to undergo in order to become a favorite delicacy for many of us. Then we move to level +1 to the Chocolatier Space, where we will discover, among other things, the secrets of conching. This is also a stop for something sweet – one of the tasting points, where we will try chocolate sweets in liquid form. On the same floor, we will also look into the Confectioner Space, which will introduce us to the final stage of chocolate preparation. We will learn about it primarily through touch and hearing – here, among other things, you can jump on a large chocolate bar and learn about the sounds that accompany its breaking or delicious consumption. There is also a separate workshop room next to it, where you can have fun and create (details about the workshop offer can be found on the website). On the top floor of the museum, level +2, we will find a room dedicated to Ptasie Mleczko® marshmallows – we will learn the history of this product while… lying on it. The whole thing ends in the Designer's Space, where visitors will see how the design of the packaging has changed over the years, and they will design one of them themselves – the final effect will be sent to them by e-mail as one of the souvenirs after their visit to the E.Wedel Chocolate Factory. At the very end, there will also be a sweet surprise, which you can taste on site or take home with you.
The design of the new building was carried out by the architectural studio BiM Architekci. The exhibition at the E.Wedel Chocolate Factory was prepared by the WWAA Studio, and the multimedia content was provided by Lunapark Motion Arts Collective. The visual identification was created by Studio Homework, in consultation with Patryk Hardziej, a student of Karol Śliwka, the designer of the iconic packaging of Czekolada Jenej. The building, which includes both the museum and production sections, covers over 8,000 square meters. The cost of investment in the museum and production zones amounted to PLN 200 million. The company hopes that this will increase its recognition among tourists from abroad and ultimately increase exports from 5 to 10 percent of production.
