1 . “Who loves pizza?” is a question you almost never have to an American. A better question might be “Who doesn’t love pizza?” Now, there’s a place for all pizza lovers to gather: the Museum of Pizza. It can be found in America’s pizza capital—New York City.
A company called Nameless Network came up with the idea for the museum, known as “MoPi” for short. “It’s often that the simplest ideas are the best. The company used the popularity of pizza as a way to get people “looking at art and hearing about history in a different way,” said Alexandra Serio, who is with Nameless Network. Many kinds of artists were asked to create art works about pizza. They, in turn, provided large photographs, sculptures and huge installations. So far, the museum has had lots of visitors. More than 6,000 people came through the door when it opened this month.
Visitors seem to love MoPi’s bright colors, which makes it perfect for taking selfies and other photographs for social media.
Nene Raye, from New Jersey, was a recent visitor. Raye didn’t expect to see what she saw—and she was happy about that. “Honestly, I thought it would be, like, more of a traditional museum,” She said. But instead, Raye got some of everything. “So You get a little bit of education and then some fun, which I love,” she said.
Lydia Melendez made plans to visit the pizza museum in April. For her, the experience was worth the wait. “I thought it was going to be kind of boring,” she said. She had imagined walking in and finding books on how to make pizza. But she was very pleased when her actual experience was different than what she had imagined.
While pizza may be what has captured the interest of crowds, the point of the Museum has been to help people exposed to fine arts world.
