New York's Museum of Arts and Design announced that it will launch the Center of Olfactory Art, marking the first time an art museum will dedicate a department to the art of scent. The Center will support exhibition and program development and provide opportunities for audiences to engage directly with prominent artists in the field. The Center will be led by former New York Times scent critic Chandler Burr, who joins the Museum's staff as its-and the nation's-first Curator of Olfactory Art. Mr. Burr, whose appointment is effective immediately, is currently organizing the Museum's fall 2011 exhibition The Art of Scent, 1889-2011.
