Museum of Ice Cream | Miami Worldcenter | Miami
An ice cream-themed interactive museum that twice opened pop-ups in Miami Beach is now opening a permanent outpost across the bridge on the mainland.

Founded and led by Maryellis Bunn and Manish Vora, the Museum of Ice Cream first opened a pop-up at the Faena District in Miami Beach in 2017. It returned in 2022 as a weekend pop-up pool party at Hotel Greystone.
