If you haven’t been to the much-talked-about pop-up museum House of La Dolce Vita in Scooter at Warehouse 26 in Soi Sukhumvit 26, there’s no better time to give it a visit than during this festive season. From now until Jan 12, the mint-green "La Caffeteria" cafe and the ticket area of the museum have recently been decked out with a number of festive Christmas trees, all of which are adorned with colorful tiny scooters and ornaments every nook and cranny of the tree.

At La Caffetteria, don't miss to treat yourself to Latte Menta (B115), a minty colored drink made of mint-infused organic milk created exclusively for the cafe by Patom Organic. To get into a joyful festive spree, the popular Red Velvet and Choco Banana cakes are also embellished with Christmas decorations during this joyous time.

This made-for-Instagram House of La Dolce Vita in Scooter opened its doors sometime in late November and quickly became one of the most talked-about pop-ups of this year. Apart from getting mind-blown by the photogenic details designed for social media generation and photo fanatics, it’s also a museum devoted to the 73-year journey and the fun, rebellious, and inspiring character of Vespa.

Loads of scooter-themed interactive installations spread across the renovated warehouse space, which was once an old car assembly plant. Strolling from room to room you’ll find all artsy and cutesy things related to Vespa, from thousands of miniature scooters hanging from the ceiling and art pieces created out of Vespa parts to a playground slide you can hop on and slide all the way down to the miniature town of Tuscany, a region in Italy where Vespa was born in a city called Pontedera in 1946, and a long-ass scooter and spaghetti curtains you could play with.
