The building was designed by Mexican architect Michel Rojkind, who was initially asked by the owners to design a covered walkway between the production buildings for factory visitors.
But Rohkind proposed to build a whole museum there (however, of an elongated plan and performing a connecting function). Now, before seeing the production of chocolate with their own eyes, tourists, mostly children, will be able to listen to the history of this wonderful product in a small auditorium, and then visit the museum shop. After that, they will go through a long tunnel to the factory workshop.
Building with an area of 634 sq. m reaches 300 m in length and meanders through the territory of the industrial complex, like a huge bright red monster. The architect himself compares it to an origami paper sculpture, a spaceship or an "halbriha" - a fantastic creature of Mexican folklore. Inside, most of the rooms are completely white, with the exception of the "theater" with green carpeted floors and chocolate bar seating.
The museum was designed and built in just two and a half months; to do this, the architects and workers had to work around the clock, breaking each day into three eight-hour shifts.
