In our naive minds, the chocolate museums are somewhat square and brown in color. Right! And I’m sure, you won’t believe me if I say the origami shaped structure you see in the picture above is a chocolate museum. Yes, this is a new Nestle Chocolate Museum in Mexico City.
Designed by Michel Rojkind of Rojkind Arquitectos, the project is characterized by a playful, faceted geometry and inexpensive materials. The exterior is clad in uneven metal and is painted in red color with the white interior that generates a nice contrast.
The museum serves as a public space where visitors can learn about and witness the production of Nestle chocolate. The volume of the building expands and opens up to accommodate key display and theater spaces and also allows for direct access to an adjacent Nestle factory.
Completed in just 75 days from start to finish, including design and construction, the museum really seems appealing. I don’t think any chocolate lover will even think of missing it while on Mexico trip.
