Odor Limits - Where Scents Make Sense

The Esther M. Klein Art Gallery at the Science Center in Philadelphia, PA is having a multimedia exhibition titled Odor Limits from May 9 to June 28. This exhibition explores the potential of smell to define our experiences.

The exhibit is presented through a collaboration between University City’s Science Center and Monell Center the works exhibited demonstrate how scent can prompt thought-provoking insights into cultural differences, environmentalism, personal identity, spirituality and the philosophy.

Not only can the scent and chemistry of herbs impact our lives, but also the scents of a person, or a neighborhood, or regions of the world. All these scents tell us something and do things for us.
