Museum of Ice Cream
Miami Beach, Florida & San Francisco, California
The ice cream experience you’ve always dreamed of, this Instagram-famous touring exhibition has everything from a sprinkles-filled swimming pool to a wonderwall of whipped cream. The Museum of Ice Cream is currently open in Miami and San Francisco. Best of luck getting your hands on those sweet, sweet tickets!

The Egg House
New York, New York
The theme of this New York exhibition is (unsurprisingly) the humble egg. The pop-up is officially open as of last weekend and we’re stoked to see the eggcellent photos that come cracking in.

Happy Place
Los Angeles, California
If you missed LA’s Happy Place in November, you’re in major luck because it’s coming back from April 26 to May 27. That means you can get lost in a world of confetti, go rainbow hopping or explore a golden super bloom.

The Cado
San Diego, California
Where else but San Diego would you expect to find a pop-up party that’s all about the avocado! Set to open in June, this interactive, avo-focused experience celebrates all things about The Cado.

Yayoi Kusama at the National Gallery of Victoria
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria has a triennial show on through April 15 and you’ll find tons of cool, oversized interactive installations. A fave of Instagrammers is the Yayoi Kusama flower home that’s kind of like a perfectly pre-fab apartment covered in flowers that are carefully placed on by visitors.

Santa Monica, California

Le Moretti
Paris, France
Raymond Moretti’s Parisian tower known as Le Moretti has been a local icon and incredible backdrop for many a photo shoot since its 1990 completion. The towering chimney structure is covered in strands of fiberglass of 19 different hues in varying sizes. Add it to the Paris must-see list!
