The FoodOboz editorial team has prepared a selection of world museums dedicated to food and worth a visit.

Pizza Museum, USA

Our top list is opened by the museum of the most favorite dish not only for Americans, but also for gourmets in every corner of the world. Long before the opening of the unusual gallery, its founder was included in the Guinness Book of Records for the largest collection of pizza-related items. After that, the man came up with a brilliant idea to turn his hobby into a source of income and open the world's first pizza museum. So, at first he organized a large-scale exhibition of items depicting the delicacy, and now the doors of his museum are open to every visitor.

Chocolate Museum, Germany

The next one in line is the Chocolate Museum, where you can not only taste many varieties of your favorite dessert, but also learn its entire history. The museum's exposition is divided into three eras. The first, dedicated to the cocoa tree, will take you to a real rainforest. They assure you that after it, your attitude towards chocolate will change completely. The second era presents chocolate as an exquisite delicacy and all its variety. And if you expect to see only banal chocolate bars, you are completely mistaken. After all, you are offered a wide variety of works of art, as well as introduced to the ingredients of real chocolate. Finally, the third part presents chocolate as a socio-cultural phenomenon and its importance for modern society. You can learn all this from the posters, brochures and signs located there. In conclusion, we recommend visiting the cozy cafe in the museum and drinking hot chocolate with a piece of chocolate cake.

Banana Museum, California

For those who have always been convinced that the most popular fruit in the world is the apple, we suggest visiting the Banana Museum. It is the most common and favorite fruit. And the museum dedicated to this fruit is located where it should be - in a sunny California town. We must warn you right away that you will not see any banal banana paintings here. The gallery was created for those who like something more unusual and eccentric. There are clocks and lamps, bar stools and sofas, even a golf club - and one in the shape of a banana. The real decoration is a fossilized banana that has been there since 1975. The light, relaxed, sometimes humorous atmosphere and the opportunity to obtain a Doctor of Science degree in bananology are the main highlights of the Banana Corner.
