The Barcelona pastry guild's museum, in the former Sant Agustí del Born convent, with its own workshop and chocolate workshops.

The Museu de la Xocolata is an initiative of the Barcelona pastry guild. It tells the history of cocoa from its arrival in Europe, the role of the port of Barcelona in its trade and the Catalan chocolate and pastry tradition, with a collection of chocolate figures, temporary exhibitions and a tasting area.

## A 14th-century convent in the Born

The museum occupies part of the former Convent de Sant Agustí, on Carrer del Comerç. The convent, built in the 14th century, was partly destroyed in the War of the Spanish Succession and then served as barracks; since 1980 the City Council has leased it to cultural and educational bodies, among them the guild's foundation. It has its own workshop, where it makes chocolate from the bean.

## Workshops with admission included

As well as the self-guided visit, the museum organises hands-on workshops of an hour and a half for families and adults, and tastings. Each workshop includes a museum ticket, which you can use before or after. Tickets are bought in its online shop, and for allergies or groups you write to reserves@museuxocolata.cat. General admission costs €8; under-6s go in free.
