You’ve heard of a school for ants, now get ready for a record store for mice—Ricotta Records
The newest record store in Lund, Sweden is proving difficult for people to get into; not because of its hip exclusivity or long lines, but because it is physically too small. And that’s because it’s a record store specially designed for a different kind of eager crate digger, specifically mice, called Ricotta Records. Yes, this is real.
Ricotta Records is the latest installation by AnonyMouse, a European art collective known for creating and installing a variety of miniaturized buildings for mice. Those walking by the tiny record shop can peek at little vinyl crates stuffed with cuts from Winnimere Houston, Destiny’s Cheese, and The Spice Gerbils, and more, and see posters featuring acts Rats Against The Machine and Cat Stevens.
AnonyMouse has called for fan submissions for additional mice-themed music posters, with favorited picks by Amy Winemouse and Tailor Swiss already making the cut. Even with a wide variety of solid rodent-themed records and genres readily available at Ricotta, we’d probably still be at the back in the electronic section, sifting through crates of Swedish Mouse Mafia and deadmau5 albums anyway.
