Another exhibition on Kiki Smith at the Seoul Museum of Art set up fragrances inspired by the exhibition’s theme.

The fragrances are inspired by the “movement of free fall,” which is the exhibition’s theme, combining amber, vetiver roots, geranium, and ho wood.

“It is an attempt to deliver the art gallery experience to the visitors in a completely new way,” the museum said.
