Food Sound

The hidden sound of food

02 Food Sound - 1920x1080px zoom

Isn’t it amazing that we can taste food with all our senses? We can taste it, smell it, see it, touch it and even hear it! Wait – hear it? Oh yes! It’s amazing how sounds can influence our food and consumption choices, even when we’re not aware of it.

Put on the headphones and get ready for an interactive and engaging tour.
Dive into an amazing journey where you’ll explore the fascinating link between sound, food choices and neuroscience, and find out how scientists proved that ‘we eat with our ears too’.

Useful information

Before booking your visit, please read this information about accessibility and the use of wireless headsets.

La mostra è visitabile unicamente utilizzando le cuffie supraGuide SPHERIC, in dotazione, che ti permettono di vivere un'esperienza sonora immersiva in 3D.

L'audioguida è disponibile in italiano, inglese e tedesco.

Le cuffie sono progettate per persone adulte e potrebbero risultare pesanti e scomode per bambine e bambini. Per questo motivo, consigliamo l'uso a bambine e bambini dagli 8 anni di età. L'utilizzo rimane a discrezione della persona accompagnatrice e sotto la sua diretta supervisione.

Ricordiamo che le persone minorenni non possono essere lasciate da sole durante la visita.

La modalità di visita e la presenza di un percorso tattile a terra rendono la mostra accessibile alle persone con disabilità visiva.

Le cuffie, indispensabili per la fruizione della mostra, non sono compatibili con gli apparecchi acustici e gli impianti cocleari.

Per ulteriori informazioni sull'accessibilità scrivi a welfare@muse.it

Nel percorso espositivo alcune installazioni interattive ti chiedono di esprimere una scelta individuale. I dati raccolti saranno conservati in forma anonima e serviranno per condurre ricerche scientifiche sui fattori che influenzano la nostra percezione del cibo.

Exhibition itinerary

An immersive, integrated, three-dimensional exhibition of colours, shapes, light and shadow, iconic items, reconstructed environments and, of course, sounds: sounds that are physical and real, but also whispered, imagined, perceived.

An exhibition that presents a participatory, collective and communal dimension, built around shared experiences of food, but also an individual, intimate fruition that invites you to reflect on your personal relationship with food.

A narrative that comes to life through five sections:

  • Prologue
    Discover what sound is, how we perceive it and how our brain processes it.
  • The kitchen
    Immerse yourself in a kitchen and listen: what memories do these sounds evoke?
  • The restaurant street
    From the trattoria with the classic checkered tablecloth to the starred restaurant, from fast food to street food, from dark dining to the restaurant of the future: how do sounds affect our dining experience?
  • The market of illusions
    How much do sounds influence our shopping and consumption habits? How do they contribute to our perception of food? Put yourself to the test and try to choose what to eat based on sound alone.
  • Scientific whispers
    Sit back and enjoy ASMR tracks and 3D sounds.
