Museum of Candy Is Coming to New York City

Sugar Factory will be opening a 30,000-square-foot Musuem of Candy in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, this summer.

The museum will occupy the former Limelight nightclub location and will offer edible candy murals and a make-your-own-dessert station. There will also be 15 interactive, candy-themed rooms, a dessert marketplace, a sit-down eatery and a café.

Visitors will get a glimpse of how candy was made and a glimpse into the industry dating all the way back to 1900.

"The idea to create a Museum of Candy originated from the imagination of my inquisitive children and my own personal dreams about a magical candy land,” Sugar Factory founder, Charissa Davidovici said in a statement. “We also drew inspiration from all of our guests at Sugar Factory taking pictures at our life-size Candy Dot wall and with our over-the-top food and drinks. New York City is the perfect location to open our first museum, it’s the epicenter of entertainment—we can’t wait to share this concept worldwide.”
