EXHIBITION
Sensory Odyssey:
Into the Heart of Our Living World
Notice
The main entrance to ArtScience Museum will be closed on 27 May due to an event. ArtScience Museum will be operating as usual and members of the public can still access the museum via the second entrance near Miracle Coffee. SweetSpot at ArtScience Museum will also be closed on 27 May.
Wonder at our incredibly diverse and fascinating living world as experienced in Sensory Odyssey – a multi-sensory and immersive exhibition that brings visitors of all ages on a spectacular journey into the heart of our ecosystem.
From the salt lakes of the savannah to the Arctic Circle, from the rainforest canopy to the depths of the earth and oceans, we become explorers as we embark on a larger-than-life journey through seven natural environments. Guided by our senses and curiosity, we will encounter a variety of plants, animals, bacteria, and mushroom species during this extraordinary expedition. See, hear, smell and feel nature like never before!
This one-of-a-kind exhibition presents strikingly real, high-definition video filmed in 8K resolution at different locations around the planet. Specially designed scents and sound effects take us up close and personal with the living world. Without words, the experience of rediscovering nature is all the more profound as it is based on amplifying our sensory powers of vision, hearing and smell to explore the life all around us. With the interplay between scale and time, Sensory Odyssey is an embodied experience designed to unravel the beauty of our planet’s biodiversity. Teeming with colours, sounds and scents, the exhibition encourages us all to appreciate just how fragile our ecosystems are.
Let’s develop a deeper understanding of our living world and strive to be good stewards of the precious planet we call home.
Organised by ArtScience Museum and BASE Entertainment Asia, this exhibition was created by Sensory Odyssey Studio in collaboration with the French National Museum of Natural History in Paris. The 2023 Asian premiere of this exhibition at ArtScience Museum marks the first stop on a global tour.

Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History)
The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History) is at the interface of research, culture and society. It is dedicated to develop knowledge and understanding of nature and the relationships that humans have with nature. It is at one and at the same time a centre of research, learning and expertise, and also includes a wealth of collections that is presents in its museums, botanical gardens, zoos and libraries.
Drawing on nearly four centuries of scientific adventures and (resolutely) looking towards the future, the Museum mobilises a combination of unique disciplines, skills and knowledge sharing them with the rest of the world.
The scope of its activities, combining natural, human and social sciences, positions it as a reference in terms of ecological and social issues, allowing it to shed scientific light on the major challenges of the 21st century in France and beyond its borders.
