A Museum of Smells

A museum of smells on three floors, full of glass jars, droppers and drawers. The top floor is a grand archive with a world map, glass-fronted cabinets, wall after wall of small drawers, and an old man at a round table taking notes from a book as a woman reads from a card. In the middle, a laboratory with white-coated staff uses a magnifier, scales and a glass display, next to a colour-mixing studio with a rainbow chart, grinding bowls and a woman at a long bench. Below, a left room has a forest mural, a brass scale and a man holding a glowing jar. The centre room has a map floor and a guide explaining labelled jars to a visitor. At the right, a clerk and a woman with a clipboard check jars of dried leaves. The glowing jar and the map floor catch the eye first, and the shelves of dried leaves fill in from there.
