New York is set to unveil a new sensory history experience for consumers to enjoy at the Museum of Ice Cream located in the Meatpacking District. The museum offers an interactive exploration into everything related to the creamy frozen dessert from rooms constructed using edible toppings to creating sundaes out of people. The avant-garde space and niche concept offers a refreshingly tactile way for consumers to find out more about the popular dessert.
