The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) celebrates one of the world’s most beloved foods—chocolate. To the Maya and Aztec peoples, Theobroma cacao, as its Latin name indicates, was a “food of the gods.” These programs present a rare opportunity for museum visitors to explore chocolate’s culture, history, and place in contemporary society.
Families and young visitors will also have an opportunity to learn hands-on as they investigate the Mayan glyph for “cacao,” see how to make Kuna molas, and try their hands at grinding cacao beans and frothing their own hot chocolate.
