A documented museum smellscape
The smellscape of an ethnographic museum was documented through participatory smell walks and a survey with 120 visitors and follow-up interviews with 30 of them, describing how visitors detected, associated and evaluated its odours.
One ethnographic museum in China, studied from a tourism perspective; it does not characterise a general museum smell chemically.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc), check run 36955913407.
