The Museum of Ice Cream Flagship Is Coming to NYC This Fall
Your family can be one of the first to visit the Museum of Ice Cream in NYC this fall if you join the early access waitlist that’s live now on the MOIC site! The flagship is coming to Soho soon and will span nearly 25,000 square feet, cover three floors of space, and incorporate 13 new art installations into its celebration of ice cream.

Museum of Ice Cream was born under the premise that that ice cream is a “universal symbol of joy, a personal pleasure, and a transportive vehicle for anyone’s imagination.”
