The Museum of Ice Cream lives in a placid pink warehouse, right in the heart of LA’s Arts District. Next to a hip nail salon, one of the city’s best restaurants, but also rather desolate parking lots, the Museum is a benevolent institution within the concrete exterior of the Arts District. Entering the first door, visitors are dropped into a bubblegum pink room, lined with retro cord telephones. They are then directed to pick up the phone, only to be greeted by Seth Rogen’s familiar voice. [...] Take a stroll through melted popsicle jungles and gummy bear hallways, until you reach a room with a darker vibe than the others. Titled the “Black Chaos Room,” artist Abel Bentin of Peru puts madness and chaos into mundane and innocent objects. That includes samples of black cookie dough and a Greek bust, smothered in melting chocolate cones.
