Located in Sir David Martin Reserve, “Ribbon of Senses” is a museum and exhibition space dedicated to sensory, immersive cultural and historic experiences. The museum emphasizes a coherence of urban, culture, material, atmosphere and curated nature like light, wind and water. All the sensory visitor-related program spaces are interspersed along with the ribbon of continuous exhibition spaces. 

Senses like views, smells, textures and sounds are four essential elements in the Reserve and they impact how people perceive the space. Textiles like clothes can represent one’s identity and culture. Even the simplest textile has the potential to carry memories, tell stories and express emotions. Surrounded by substantial semi-transparent fabric blinds and innovative fabric glass brick partition walls, visitors could sense the history and stories that are told in here.

“Ribbon of Senses” Museum is a good collaboration of hardness and softness, light and shadow, broad and narrow, transparent and opaque, inside and outside. It functions as a highlighted node in Sydney Harbour Walk and designed to encourage passersby to stop, relax, linger and marvel with great views towards Sydney skyline, harbour and parklands.
