Info

The Sugar Museum in Berlin, devoted to the history and technology of sugar, is the oldest such museum in the world, having opened in 1904. It is now part of the German Museum of Technology. Until November 2012, it was housed in the Institut für Lebensmitteltechnologie (Institute of Food Technology) in Wedding, Mitte.
Exhibits were labelled in German only, although an English-language pamphlet describing them was also available. Lonely Planet called the Sugar Museum "quirky... a surprisingly entertaining exhibit where you’ll learn all about the origin of sugar and its chemistry."Since November 2012, the Sugar Museum has been closed, but a modernised exhibit opened at the German Museum of Technology in Kreuzberg in November 2015.
