How does awakening smell?
The aroma of coffee can activate the brain before the first sip. A deep breath is enough – and your limbic system, the center of emotion, is already at work. This is no coincidence. Our sense of smell is directly linked to memory and feelings. That is why so many of us remember the scent of the perfect morning coffee forever.
At the Museum of Senses, we understand this. That is why we selected coffee that not only tastes great, but smells so rich that it makes you pause – and feel the moment.
📅 When? Daily from 9 AM to 8 PM

What does coffee do to the brain?
Caffeine affects focus, alertness, and even mood. It does not add energy – it simply blocks the signals of tiredness. The brain becomes clearer, and you see the world with more sharpness. And that is exactly what you need after a visit full of stimuli. Sit down, enjoy your coffee, and let your thoughts settle – it might be the most important part of the experience. Coffee at our museum is not just a drink. It is part of the story – one that starts with your senses and continues with a quiet moment and a warm cup in hand ☕️
Where to find our coffee?
You can enjoy our coffee at the reception in our museum shop, either before your experience or as a sensory finale after it. It is available to all visitors who want to turn their time with us into a moment that tastes and smells unforgettable. Interestingly, people who drink coffee regularly associate its taste & aroma with feelings of comfort and calm. That is one reason why a cup of coffee often helps anchor a memory and makes the experience truly unforgettable.
