“ Functional disorders of sense organs may intensify the remaining senses. It is presumed that blind persons do not only hear better and have an intensified tactile sense but also have a stronger sense of smell.”
There are five ordinary senses; people who are blind are naturally more sensitive to other senses. This project uses three different senses: hearing, touch, and smell. How the three senses interact and interconnect in an experience, and how the sense is suitable for specific museum experiences.

Lose this sense entirely or partially
Connect visitors with artwork
Not applicable in the museum setting
Evoked atmospheres
I aimed to create inclusive experiences where blind people could fully engage with the art. By incorporating hearing, touch, and smell, I transformed traditional exhibits into multi-sensory experiences.
My goal was to design with empathy, ensuring that accessibility was not just an accommodation but an enriching part of the museum experience.
