Museum of Ice Cream

The Museum of Ice Cream features about fourteen themed rooms where visitors explore colorful installations and displays dedicated to frozen treats. Each space combines interactive elements with structures designed for hands-on exploration and photo opportunities.

The museum opened as a new type of venue that reimagined what a museum could be by prioritizing hands-on fun over passive observation. It reflected a growing trend of placing visitor participation and playfulness at the center of exhibition design.

Each room celebrates regional flavors and traditions from different American cities like Chicago and New York. Visitors experience how ice cream plays a role in American celebrations and everyday social moments.

Visitors receive complimentary ice cream samples while exploring at their own pace, with flexibility to spend as much or as little time in each room as they prefer. Going with an open mind and a willingness to engage with the hands-on installations will enhance the experience.

One of the most striking rooms features bright yellow walls with red ornaments hanging from the ceiling, creating a playful and surreal setting. Movement-activated cookie structures add unexpected moments of surprise throughout this and other spaces.
