Given the current situation, several museums are temporarily closed. Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum is utilizing this time to bring the masterpieces of Gogh to life through scent. The museum has partnered with British brand Floral Street to develop a line of scents inspired by the artist’s several masterpieces.

Museums have experimented with scent before too. In 2015, Van Gogh Museum organized “Feeling Van Gogh,” which was an interactive exhibition for the blind that included olfactory elements. Apart from this, Louvre created eight perfumes inspired by some of its masterpieces in 2019, Odeuropa received $3.4 million in E.U. funding to create the first “Smell Museum” to recreate historic smells, and Mauritshuis in The Hague is currently hosting an exhibition in which visitors can smell some of its artworks. But, nothing can surpass the smell of Vincent Van Gogh’s almond blossom.

Museums have already been one of the biggest tourist attractions. Today, these museums are utilizing innovative initiatives to further augment the popularity of the museum. So, as soon as we return to normalcy,
