Lithuania opens all-chocolate room to sweeten Valentine's
"We wanted to create something special for Valentine's Day. The chocolate room looks just like a traditional Lithuanian sitting-room," Frederikas Jansonas, spokesman for the Akropolis shopping mall in the capital Vilnius, told AFP.
The 17-square-metre (183-square-foot) room is made of chocolate from floor to ceiling, and also contains chocolate furniture and interior decorations such as candlesticks, pictures and books, informs LETA/ELTA.
Seven artists used 300 kilogrammes (661 pounds) of chocolate to create it.
"Everybody who sees a full-size chocolate room will have no doubt. It's the best place for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner," sculptor Mindaugas Tendziagolskis said in a statement.
For now, however, the curious can only look, not touch or taste.
The room will be on view until March 8 – International Women's Day – when it will be broken up and the chocolate distributed to visitors, Jansonas said.
