Melbourne's Pop-Up Dessert Museum Is Returning for a Second Round of Sugar Highs
Sugar Republic is making a comeback in February 2019.
Sweet-toothed Melburnians, rejoice. Australia's dessert museum is returning for a second round of sugary fun in February 2019. After hitting up Victoria in June this year, and Brisbane this month, Sugar Republic is returning with all new rooms, installations and a retro candy store.
While what exactly you'll find at the new Melbourne pop-up is still under wraps — with Sugar Republic promising, "14 brand new rooms, all new installations, plus a sweet themed cafe and candy store" — its previous Aussie iterations have included a giant gumball machine that you can climb inside, an adult-sized ballpit in bubblegum-pink hues and a dedicated fairy floss room with its own swing. It sounds like the kind of place that Willy Wonka might own.
Other highlights of the previous Melbourne pop-up included a sherbet-filled rainbow bridge, a 'press for confetti' button, an interactive sprinkles wall, a neon art wall and other dessert-centric art. We're expecting the new iteration to be equally OTT.
Basically, if you missed out on visiting New York's Museum of Ice Cream back in 2016, this is Australia's equivalent. Typically these kind of places are designed to be as photogenic as possible, so expect plenty of pics to clog your Instagram feed.
The new Melbourne location and dates haven't been released just yet, but you can expect the dessert museum to pop-up in February 2019 at a Myer store. Tickets go on sale next month, and we'll keep you updated with any new details.
