About This Museum

You might not expect a museum dedicated to the history of caramel, but that's precisely the delightful surprise waiting in Kirov. Tucked away on the third floor of a functionalist-style building, this center feels like a well-kept local secret. Inside, the air itself is sweet with the scent of sugar and spice, pulling you into a world where candy is king. It’s less a sterile gallery and more a vibrant celebration of a craft we all think we know, yet quickly realize we’ve only just begun to understand.

Collection Highlights

The heart of the experience is watching artisans pull and shape molten sugar into delicate, translucent lollipops right before your eyes. You'll find antique copper pots used for boiling syrup, beautifully illustrated wrappers from centuries past, and interactive displays explaining the alchemy of turning simple beet sugar into art.

Visitor Information

Head to Spasskaya Ulitsa 15 and make your way up to the third floor—it's worth the climb. The place has a wonderfully informal vibe, so don't be shy about asking questions while the candy makers are at work.

Architecture & Building

The center resides in a classic, no-frills Soviet-era building with a stark, utilitarian facade that gives no hint of the sugary wonders contained within.
