Permanent exhibits include nine rooms tracing the history of chocolate—from the pre-Hispanic era to its diffusion during the viceroyalty, and its later development up to the product we know today. In the following rooms, tools used to serve chocolate across different eras are shown, as well as chocolate-based products marketed in other countries, such as Hershey's chocolate bars given to soldiers in World War II, Chocomilk, and Carlos V powder. Another room invites visitors to decipher which spices correspond to the displayed essences. Another room is lined with wooden chocolate boards.
