Throughout May and June, the Museum of Ice Cream has opened its doors to the public for just a short period of time. This temporary sweet stop in Los Angeles (LA) will turn your legs to jelly by the beautiful colors and exhibitions hidden inside the pink box. Featuring ten different exhibitions, the Museum of Ice Cream first opened up in New York as a temporary pop-up museum. Tickets are completely sold out as people scrambled in the very beginning to grab tickets to this ice cream-inspired art gallery. Every exhibit, which includes pink payphones, mint plants in chocolate soil, giant melting popsicles, 10,000 bananas hanging from the ceiling, and an ice cream sandwich swing, makes every moment begging to be photographed.
Throughout your entire visit, the museum has stops where people give you small bites of different treats that were made with the art in each exhibit. There is mint chocolate chip mochi ice cream, gummy bears, pancake ice cream sandwiches, and more. Being able to taste the room’s sweetness makes the experience so much better.
One of the most notable exhibitions is the vibrant swimming pool of “sprinkles” which is constantly packed with people! The museum designed sprinkles made of antimicrobial plastics and filled the pool with about one hundred million of them. It is a sight to behold when everyone becomes a child in that pool, even the adults and the elderly.
Even though tickets are sold out, hopefully the museum will extend their stay in LA so more people will have the chance to experience it! It leaves you with a short message by the end of your visit and a warm feeling in your heart: “Be sweet. Be silly. Be a lover. Be y♡u.”
