Museum experience design based on multi-sensory transformation approach

Abstract

Museums' main functions are to preserve pieces of art, transmit and share knowledge. They are proposing more and more solutions to address the access to information. In this paper, our main purpose is to improve visitors' learning experience and knowledge transfer in museums. First, we did theoretical background review about museum experience and multi-sensory experience. Then, we propose a new method based on “Multi-sensory transformation matrix”. Finally, we design the initial concept of a brand new multi-sensory solution that we plan to experiment with visitors in real museum environments.
