Mission and Values

Curiosity as Culture
icon

Curiosity as Culture

At Museum of Senses, curiosity is not a byproduct. It is the starting point. We create environments where people feel safe to question, touch, explore & laugh. Curiosity unlocks learning, connection or memory, which is why we treat it as a design principle, not an accident.

Experience Over Explanation

Experience Over Explanation

We believe in moments that speak for themselves. Instead of telling visitors what to think or feel, we build environments that let them discover it on their own. Through interaction, contrast & surprise.

Emotion Meets Science

Emotion Meets Science

We do not believe in dry facts or shallow fun. Our experiences sit at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology & creative design.By understanding how the brain responds to light, color, motion, sound or smell, we design emotional reactions that stick, and educate without effort.

Creativity at the Core

Creativity at the Core

From the first blueprint to the final visitor reaction, we collaborate with artists, engineers & behavioral experts. Creativity is not a decoration, it is how we solve problems, connect ideas or build meaning across disciplines.

Timeline
Connector
2016 - Ljubljana

The journey begins in Slovenia, where our founding team launches House of Illusions. A pilot concept focused on optical exhibits & playful education lays the groundwork for our sensory-first approach and proves the appetite for interactive spaces in Central Europe.

Connector
2017 - Bucharest

The first Museum of Senses opens in Romania's capital, expanding the idea beyond illusions into a full sensory environment. This space sets a new standard for visitor immersion, combining visual, auditory & tactile experiences in a high-traffic commercial setting.

Connector
2018 - Prague

We enter one of Europe's most competitive tourist markets — and thrive. The Prague museum quickly becomes a flagship, confirming the brand's appeal to international audiences & setting our operational benchmarks.

Connector
2024 - Milan

The next step takes us to Italy, where design & experience meet. Our Milan museum reinforces the brand's versatility, aesthetic potential and business model consistency across countries.

Connector
2025 - Madrid

We expand further west with a bold, colourful opening in Spain's capital. Madrid marks a new milestone for the brand: deeper cultural reach, expanded language coverage & growing demand from partners.
