Abstract
Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are focusing on multisensory experiences, incorporating non-visual senses (such as hearing, taste, touch, and smell) into the physical museum space. People engage with museums, receive information, and experience the world through their bodily senses. In this interactive experience, the visitor plays a crucial role, being both the subject of cognition and experience. What kind of museum experiences are generated within the bounds of the subject, and what kind of relationship is established with the museum as a result? This paper will discuss the unique experiences endowed to physical museums by multisensory perception, using specific cases as examples.
