A chocolate exhibit, you say? How could I stay away.

Ramparts built of chocolate-covered marshmallow logs. |
The purpose of the exhibition seems twofold: one, sell a lot of chocolate. The giant billboards celebrating this exhibition hall
full of chocolate-themed content served as bait, to attract the most chocolate-susceptible crowd. Once inside the hall, the aerosolized chocolate alone could induce drool.

DalĂ-inspired chocolate sculpture. |
The second purpose was to demonstrate all the non-edible uses of chocolate. These seemed to primarily consist of sculpture.

Ornately dressed chocolate couple. Life sized. Detailed. |
Ironically, many of the chocolate sculptures were of food. But no touching, please, and
certainly no eating.
 |
A table of sculptures and feast --- all made of chocolate, of course: the gourds, the fish, the plates, the silverware, the owl. |
Finally, just a general celebration of chocolate's history and trivia. Again, the audience was exactly right for such a display of information.
This post's theme word is uxorious, "excessively devoted or submissive towards one's wife."
If Godiva had been more uxorious, the legend may never have happened.
