Wonder at our incredibly diverse and fascinating living world as experienced in Sensory Odyssey – a multi-sensory and immersive exhibition that brings visitors of all ages on a spectacular journey into the heart of our ecosystem.
From the salt lakes of the savannah to the Arctic Circle, from the rainforest canopy to the depths of the earth and oceans, we become explorers as we embark on a larger-than-life journey through seven natural environments. Guided by our senses and curiosity, we will encounter a variety of plants, animals, bacteria, and mushroom species during this extraordinary expedition. See, hear, smell and feel nature like never before!
This one-of-a-kind exhibition presents strikingly real, high-definition video filmed in 8K resolution at different locations around the planet. Specially designed scents and sound effects take us up close and personal with the living world. Without words, the experience of rediscovering nature is all the more profound as it is based on amplifying our sensory powers of vision, hearing and smell to explore the life all around us. With the interplay between scale and time, Sensory Odyssey is an embodied experience designed to unravel the beauty of our planet’s biodiversity. Teeming with colours, sounds and scents, the exhibition encourages us all to appreciate just how fragile our ecosystems are.

15. Circus Park
Who says there are only a few ways we can play in the "park"?
Who says that the circus is only for certain people to play in?
Let’s reimagine something new together!
Through a variety of circus acts and childhood games, Circus Park subverts existing stereotypes regarding the use of everyday objects. The familiar space of a playground is used as the starting point of the story, connecting memories and inviting audiences to freely imagine and share an adventure in this “circus park” filled with creativity.
Created by Taiwan’s Circus Gate, this interactive experience asks the question, what should a park with recreational and social functions look like in light of the rapid development of cities today? Can everyday objects trigger our imagination and create joy, and how do we break out of the intangible frameworks that restrict us?
