Innovative Approaches to using Themed Scents in Exhibits

You would think that exhibitions are expected to be the place to go for a visual treat. However the 21st century is revolutioning how scent is used in different environments. The reason is simple: people nowdays want more from a fragrance than smelling nice. People expect to not only be reminded of sentimental smells, but also to be transported on journeys they have not experienced, to places they have not seen.

Exhibitors who follow their nose are far more likely to attract visitors attention. Museums are increasingly using scents as part of their whole exhibits – rather than small parts of displays. Here are some of most inventive uses of scents in Museums from around the world:

An award-winning War Museum in England hides AromaPrime battlefield and historical scents across its entire site to add an extra layer to its explorable world. Visitors, and especially children, can discover the Blitz with the real sights and smells of the era.

A Museum in Scandinavia is using camouflaged AromaPrime scent machines to create immersive medieval exhibitions - with smells of viking forests, feudal villages and food from the middle ages.

A show element in a UK Museum uses timers with its AromaPrime scent machines to match smells with the progress of a story, putting visitors right in the shoes of midst of the tale.

A London Tour Guide is handing out AromaPrime Vortex Cubes to those on his trail, adding further depth and a unique twist to his vivid explanations.

A Medical Museum in Europe is using a mix of pungent AromaPrime scents to disgust, delight and inform its visitors. Guests can get to grips with the ins and outs of medical practice with authentic scents!

A History Museum in New Zealand is using AromaPrime Vortex cubes for visitors to pick up and pass around alongside their exhibitions and to interact with on event days!

The use of Scents to enhance Museum experience is limited only by the imagination.
