Museums for Love

What does love mean to you? Is it the soaring feeling in your heart when you see your special someone? Is it the warm glow you get when you hold hands? Love seems to be everywhere on Chinese Valentine’s Day, but at some museums around the world, love is in the air all year round.

The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love. This museum was once the private home of a famous sixteenth-century singer. On the walls, you can see paintings of lovers from legends and myths, like the god Cupid and his lover, Psyche.

For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the chocolate museum in Cologne, Germany, makes sense. There, visitors can learn about the history of chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made. Of course, it would be mean not to let you and your loved one try some chocolate after all this. That’s why the museum gives out wafers that were dipped in chocolate from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain.

愛情博物館

愛情對你來說意味著什麼呢？是你看到心愛的人時心中飛揚的感覺嗎？是你倆牽手時感受到的溫暖熱情嗎？在七夕情人節這一天，愛情似乎無所不在，但全球各地有一些博物館，全年都充滿著浪漫愛情的氣氛。

位於威尼斯的菲羅米拉宮更常被稱為愛情博物館。這個博物館曾是十六世紀一位知名歌手的私人住宅。在牆壁上，你可以看到源自傳說及神話的情侶畫，像是愛神丘比特和他的情人賽姬。

對許多人來說，愛情和巧克力密不可分，所以參觀位於德國科隆的巧克力博物館是有道理的。在那裡，遊客可以得知巧克力的歷史並觀看巧克力磚的製作過程。當然，參觀這一切後不讓你和你的情人嚐點巧克力就太過份了。那就是博物館之所以分送在三公尺高的巧克力噴泉裡沾浸過的威化餅的原因。
