The mega popular, Instagram-friendly Museum of Ice Cream, which most recently opened for temporary runs in Los Angeles and New York, is making its next stop in San Francisco.

A tab on the museum's official website titled "Visit" lists both Los Angeles and San Francisco, at first hinting that the Bay Area city will play next host to the sprinkle pool and obviously, lots of ice cream. The company behind the pop-up exhibit also looked to be seeking several workers for the museum, including a production assistant, a public relations associate, and an operations manager.

Now, the Museum has confirmed to SFGATE that they are opening their next pop-up in downtown San Francisco at 1 Grant Ave. — the former home to an Emporio Armani boutique — and that it will be completely different from previous iterations in L.A. and New York.

"The nearly 108 year old historic landmark situated in the heart of the city is one of the most iconic buildings in Union Square," says a spokesperson for the Museum of Ice Cream. "(Museum) founder and Creative Director Maryellis Bunn was drawn to the challenge of creating the next Museum of Ice Cream in a building with stunning architectural highlights. The juxtaposition of the historical foundation with Museum of Ice Cream's modern design and signature playfulness, is sure to unlock the imagination like never before."

The spokesperson tells SFGATE that the upcoming San Francisco location will stand apart from previous pop-ups in that it will feature "immersive installations, smells and flavors never seen before." The museum also notes that the famed sprinkle pool will be "completely reimagined."

Details about buying tickets for the Museum will be announced in mid-August and it will open this September.
