Choc! Suchard fait sa pub

When it comes to advertising, the chocolate industry has been one of the most dynamic sectors of all. The Suchard company, established at Neuchâtel in 1826, actually took on a pioneering role in this regard. This exhibition provides a panoramic overview of the Neuchâtel company's creative advertising from the mid-19th century to the present day, with a selection of 200 items that include some extraordinary historic posters with dimensions of up to 4.5 meters. Visitors will recognise names that have become famous such as the Milka cow, Suchard Express and Toblerone.

As they follow the exhibition route, visitors will be prompted to consider the use of posters in a variety of media ranging from packaging to films. There is a focus on the strategies pursued to tempt very diverse groups of consumers: these include the choice of renowned artists such as Leonetto Cappiello, Max Bill, Alois Carigiet and Herbert Leupin.

Although the main raw material – cocoa – comes from distant countries, chocolate has become established as a symbol of Switzerland. The exhibition also questions the reasons that prompted Suchard to favour the Swiss Alps in its publicity, while omitting references to cocoa plantations and other multinational contributions.
