“The Sense Gallery is not just a gallery but a multisensory experience that weaves together art, science, and technology in a unique setting.” – artuu.it

“A ‘Museum 3.0’ and at the same time an attraction that will offer light-heartedness (but also reflection) to young and old alike (…) We find ourselves immersed in an innovative space, a place of high quality with cultural and artistic significance. In fact, the magic of Compagnia Finzi Pasca is represented, and from being spectators of many works here we become protagonists.” – Corriere del Ticino

On 15 May 2024, Switzerlands first multi-sensory experience opened its doors to the public in the new wing of Mendrisios Fox Town, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

Born from Silvio Tarchinis visionary dream, the project was developed by Compagnia Finzi Pasca in collaboration with Professor Luca Gambardella, with the creation of an immersive, digital and modern space where art and technology come together in a harmonious union where nothing is as it seems.

The route, for a total of 350 square metres of interactive exhibition space, consists of 6 multi-sensory rooms with immersive installations:the Tunnel of Light, The Hall of the Upside Down World, the Infinity Room, the House of the Fox, The OLTRE Room, the Enchanted Forest.

In the first five months since its opening, The Sense Gallery has already boasted over 11,000 visitors, and multimedia and installation content updates are periodically planned to ensure an ever-renewed experience.
