味觉博物馆位于沈阳铁西区红梅文创园内，已于 2019 年 10 月 15 日开馆。文创园整体由红梅味精老厂区改造而来，博物馆建筑和厂区老大门连为一体，是文创园的入口第一站。在策展主题上，直径叙事确立了由“红梅”到“味精”、由“味精”到“味觉”的话题跨越，创造性地从科学、文明、艺术三个维度诠释“味觉”——分别对应“味觉实验室”“味觉之路”以及“味觉艺廊”三个展厅。它们用不同的叙事角度、设计体验和艺术表达，突破观众对“味觉”的惯常印象。

Taste Museum is located in Hongmei Cultural and Creative Park, Tiexi District, Shenyang. This Park is transformed from the old Hongmei Monosodium Glutamate factory. The museum is connected to the gate of factory, which is the first stop of the Cultural and Creative Park. In terms of the curatorial theme, Diameter Narrative Design has established the topic spanning from “Hongmei” to “MSG”, and “MSG” to “Taste”. The studio creatively interprets “Taste” from science, civilization and art, corresponding to the three exhibition halls of”Taste Lab”, “Taste Road” and “Taste Art Gallery” respectively. Using different narrative angles, design experiences and artistic expressions, we break through the usual impression about “taste” of audience.

策展思路

Curating Concept

味觉是个体记忆，但其背后可能是整个时代的风云变化，是社会的历史记忆。我们赋予味觉以形式，将其作为一种媒介语言，表现世界的人文历史，并使观众在其中体验，达到情感的共通、艺术的共赏，创造出一个可能的世界。通过拉开“味觉”的叙事维度，我们希望观众参观完博物馆后能够意识到味觉是一个有趣，有意义的重要因子。感官的私密性与展览的公开性相对，也会带给观众不一样的体验。此外，除了历史实物和影像资料，博物馆中最独特和精彩的“展品”是我们特别设计制作的几个艺术装置，辅以科技元素和空间互动，带给观众不一样的体验。

Taste is an individual memory, but behind it may be great changes of the whole era, which represents the social history variation. We put taste as a kind of medium language, which manifest the humanistic history of the world, and allow the audience to experience to achieve emotional as well as artistic appreciation. Through extending the narrative dimension of “taste”, people will comprehend that taste is an interesting and meaningful factor. In addition, except for historical objects and video materials, the most unique and exciting “exhibits” are several art installations specially designed in the museum. With supplemented by scientific-technology elements and spatial interaction, we will bring audience a totally different experience.

一层及上楼过程中有“我们的味觉”味蕾螺旋装置。味蕾是大多数动物的味觉感受器，味蕾数量越多意味着更敏感的味觉感知。双螺旋象征着基因与进化，上面镶嵌的是十几种常见动物和他们的味蕾数量，按由少到多的顺序盘旋上升。

There is an “Our Taste” spiral installation on the first floor and upstairs. Taste buds are the taste receptors of most animals, and more taste buds mean more sensitive taste perception. The double helix symbolizes genes and evolution, and inlaid on it are more than a dozen common animals and their taste buds, circling upwards from less to more.
