At The Museum of Natural History they had an exhibition called Människan djuret(translation: Human animal) at this exhibition they had a section which was called, Do you have a nose for this?
This setup consisted of a on screen application and a tube which could produce different kind of smells based on your decision on their application. I suspect that the interface for this wasn't working as expected as you could see computer arrow and nothing changed even though you clicked on the screen, I did however understand how it should work and was quite fascinated of the idea.
The tube is supposed to produce a wide range of smells, from the smell of roses to the smell of feces. By smelling the air flowing out of the tube you were supposed to guess what it was. I'm unsure of the size needed to setup this due to the fact that it was mounted inside a table, but I do not imagine that it would require much space at all.This isn't really in direct relation to our target group but as a part of a game or quiz I think that this would work quite well and since our target group is people that usually don't go to museums very often I do think that games and quizzes is one possible way to attract more visitors.
Apart from this they also had a lot of somewhat interactive games all over the museum!
