Our Senses: An Immersive Experience
This event has already occurred
Description
Our Senses takes visitors through eleven galleries in which they need to rely on their senses to differentiate between perception and reality. The exhibit shows how human senses have evolved to keep us safe, how our senses differ from those in the animal world and how the human brain enhances what the senses detect, especially when senses disagree with one another. Highlights include an exploration of how our sense of smell makes us hungry, and whether the famous dress was white and gold or blue and black
