Turm der Sinne, Interactive perception museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
Turm der Sinne is a museum housed within a historic tower of Nuremberg's city walls, spanning six floors dedicated to human perception. The exhibition presents hands-on displays that explore how sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste work in the human body.
The tower was originally part of Nuremberg's medieval defensive fortifications protecting the city. Over time, this historic structure was repurposed into an educational institution exploring human sensory experiences.
The space functions as a center for hands-on learning where visitors directly experience how their senses work and sometimes trick them. This approach transforms understanding perception from abstract theory into something you feel and witness yourself.
Visitors should allow time to explore the different experiments at their own pace, as some displays require quiet concentration to work properly. An elevator is available for those wanting to visit all floors, though stairs also connect the levels.
On the ground floor, visitors experience spatial illusions that shift their perceived size, making them appear giant or tiny within the same room. This optical effect often becomes the most memorable moment for those visiting the museum.
