Chocolate museum

This is from the chocolate museum, which is really just a giant paid advertisement for Lindt. After paying 7.5€, you get a tiny square of chocolate and entrance to the museum. There was an informative display of the history of chocolate (the discovery of cocoa and the eventual exploitation of those people in the areas in which cocoa grew) which was followed by a chocolate fountain (complete with an attendant who dipped a wafer for you) and a short assembly line where you could watch chocolate truffles being coated and wrapped. Cool, but not worth the price of admission. Also, I think the chocolate museum draws more than twice as many tourists as all the other museums in Cologne together.
