The Museum of Curiosities presents: Senses

About the show

Dublin’s newest and strangest museum, The Museum of Curiosities, is transformed into an immersive journey through the five senses unfolding across its five rooms. Downstairs, sight comes alive in darkened, projection-lit spaces that reveal the museum’s exhibits in unexpected ways, alongside Victorian viewing devices including stereoscopes and mutoscopes. Upstairs, live musical performances and interactive instruments, including a theremin, explore sound.

In the foyer, a scent-led perfumery designed to evoke memory, emotion and imagination invites visitors to explore smell, while a Victorian room heightens touch through mystery objects and unusual textures.

Finally, a former kitchen explores taste with preserved historical curiosities, including decades-old sweets and a centuries-old piece of cake, alongside a particularly stomach-churning performance art piece that will put even the strongest appetites to the test.
