‘The Secret Power of Scent’ takes visitors on a 1,000-year journey
Ever wondered what war smells like? Or ponder the odour of love? A new exhibition in Germany allows visitors to discover unknown worlds of smells by sniffing their way through 81 different fragrances across 37 different galleries.
The Secret Power of Scent, which opens to the public on Wednesday at the Kunstpalast museum, in the western city of Düsseldorf, combines fragrances with art, taking visitors on a journey of more than 1,000 years of cultural history.
“This exhibition is an experiment—and an invitation for our audience to discover the history of scents with their noses,” said Felix Krämer, the museum's director general.
