Museum of Ice Cream’s special teaser pop-up will be running from 30 April to 27 May 2021 at Design Orchard, located right in the heart of town. Visitors to the retail showcase will be treated to a preview of the museum’s Lifeguard Beach installation, complete with its signature waffle cone trees. An all-pink pastel wonderland for the VSCO girls out there.
Design Orchard is a retail space dedicated to promoting local products. For K-drama fans, think along the lines of Start-Up’s Sandbox but for Singaporean brands. Therefore, it’s no surprise Museum of Ice Cream’s showcase will feature collaborations with our local companies.
