Ice cream museum opens in LA

First Ice Cream Museum opened earlier this year in NYC. This
time LA version will be four times bigger and according to museum
officials it will have be made up of mostly completely new instal-
lations: the interactive exhibit, which includes an ice cream scoop
teeter-totter, wall of waffle cones, immersive chocolate room, and
swimmable pool filled with sprinkles.

Created by 24-year-old Maryellis Bunn and 36-year-old Manish
Vora, the exhibit sold 30,000 tickets in just five days at the original
location across from the Whitney Museum in NYC. Yeah, that’s
some serious action in a short amount of time. And make sure
you have Instagram at the ready — those neon signs and rainbow
sprinkles are far too photogenic. Choose Experience.
