New York’s Museum of Arts and Design will soon become the first institution in America to possess a wing entirely dedicated to scent as an art form. The Center of Olfactory Art is set to be unveiled next fall. Museum director Holly Hotchner said, that the Center has been organised as a sensory experience where patrons can touch and smell the objects on display. Chandler Burr, the former fragrance critic for The New York Times, has been appointed as the department’s curator.
