Chocolate world tour exhibition opens

Chocolate, The Exhibition, opened the Seoul leg of its world tour at V-Gallery, Seoul Arts Center (SAC) on Dec. 12.

Running through March 3, 2012, this exhibition that originally began at Chicago’s Field Museum will highlight the fact that chocolate is not only delicious, it’s full of history.

“From the first discovery of cacao beans and their use as an offering to the gods in South America to its sweeping effect in Europe and the mass production of chocolate, you’ll learn how chocolate’s influence has changed the world.”

V gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

SAC is located in Seocho-dong across the Banpo Bridge from Itaewon. Drive across the Banpo Bridge and keep going straight to the end of the road. The Seoul Arts Center is in front of you.
