EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions.
Perhaps you think that tastes are either sweet, salty, bitter or sour.
Have we got news for you! Taste is a particularly complex sense which cannot be reduced to these four simplistic adjectives. It is actually composed of multiple perceptions.
Follow the chronology of a tasting that reveals the diversity of gustatory stimulations through the five senses. Smell, eyesight, touch, hearing, flavours, aromas, textures, aspects, temperatures, trigeminal sensations, retro-olfaction…
This unique and interactive journey provides stimulations which – through the prism of cultural and personal experience - form the multi-sensory gustatory image commonly called ‘taste’.
This exhibition includes an area specially designed for 3 to 6-year-olds:
Les 400 goûts / Mouths of babes
A matter of taste you are going to experience !
