The Effect of Ambient Scent

Visitors do not just visit the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art.

They also feel and smell it.

The nature of perception, what is real and how we engage with the reality of what surrounds us, is one of the themes running through the diverse body of decades of their work. 

Do you know what scents you really like? Whether you’re loyal to a signature scent or dabble with an exhibition of seasoned favourites, Kiran Nadar Museum Museum of Art's new exhibition is set to change the way you think about fragrance.

While we’re all aware of the power of smell (just think how easily one whiff of a familiar scent can transport you back in time), what is often overlooked is how perfumes play the role of cultural object. 

But in this exhibition it was about to find out your Mood, disposition or Mizaaj.

In traditional medicine Mizaaj was used for the dynamic composition of humors within the body, it means what is your blend!

Your Mizaaj on a certain day depends how you have interacted with your area that you are living. 

So there is a room with bottles storing 75 smell able objects and they ask you Sniff and pick one smell. Follow the instructions written under the bottle. Remember to pick your corresponding smell card after the final stage and  Feel free to take it with you.
