Chocolate Museum
Šokolado muziejus
A chocolate museum beside the century-old 'Rūta' candy factory, where you can learn how chocolate is made, taste it, and make your own.
Šiauliai is home to Rūta, a long-established Lithuanian confectionery brand whose factory was founded in 1913. The museum covers cocoa cultivation, chocolate making, and a century of factory history, with old packaging and production tools on display. You can join tastings and handmade chocolate workshops, and the brand store next door sells local sweets. Some activities require advance booking, and admission costs a few euros. It is located on Tilžės Street on the west side of the old town, about a 5-minute walk from the west end of Vilniaus Street.
Opening hours
