Lecture: Chocolate

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is currently featuring a special exhibit on Chocolate.  The story of chocolate is a “rich” tale indeed.  It involves aristocracy and slavery, innovation and coincidence.  Pivotal roles were played by both Christopher Columbus and Hernando Cortéz.  Join Active Minds as they describe how extremely bitter cacao beans are transformed into one of the world’s most sought after flavors and tell chocolate stories such as the rise of the luxury chocolate industry in Switzerland and the origins of the Hershey company.
