# Candy-Inspired Children's Museums The Sweetness by Sports Harnesses What Kids Love Most By Meghan Young | Published 2014-04-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sweetness-by-sports References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3028558/a-sweet-museum-for-kids-inspired-by-candy) & [sportscollaborative](http://www.sportscollaborative.com/) Sugar might not be very good for the human race as a whole, but when channeled in a creative process such as The Sweetness by Sports, a design collaborative based in Los Angeles, California, it is more than good, it is downright amazing. Granted, the building isn't made out of sugar. Instead, the design is inspired by the candy that [kids love so much](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superpower-studios). A playful and colorful take on the [traditional serious museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-ice-creams), The Sweetness by Sports will surely attract the right audience (those between the ages of two to 13). Specifically inspired by [classic sticky and gummy candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsugar-chewsyourmix), the hues, textures and shapes are all reminiscent of treats, a concept that will surely rub off on the exhibits themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Candy-inspired Designs:** Exploring candy-inspired designs can lead to innovative and unique architectural concepts. - **Playful Museum Experiences:** Creating interactive and colorful museum experiences catered to children can disrupt the traditional museum industry. - **Theme-based Exhibits:** Developing theme-based exhibits that relate to children's interests, such as candy, can attract and engage young visitors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can leverage candy-inspired designs to create visually stunning and attention-grabbing structures. - **Children's Entertainment and Education:** The candy-inspired museum concept presents an opportunity to innovate in the field of children's entertainment and education, providing new and engaging experiences. - **Museum and Cultural Institutions:** Traditional museums can explore incorporating more playful and engaging elements to attract younger audiences and stay relevant in the modern society. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Candy Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-retreat.md) - [Candy-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-lips.md) - [Colorful Candy Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hichew-fantasy-house.md) - [Sugar Craving-Blocking Child Gums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-victory-botanical-gum.md) - [Hollywood-Themed Candy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugafina-x-hollywood-collection.md) - [Swedish Candy Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubs-sweeteasy.md) - [Candy-Scented Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sloomoo-x-hichew.md) - [Vegan Confectionery Store Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-confectionery-store.md) - [Scandinavian Candy Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swede-tooth.md)
