Sensory Odyssey: Into the Heart of Our Living World

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.
