This handheld game console from Nintendo is designed very compactly. The edges are rounded at the top and bottom, while the sides are flat. The entire screen is slightly raised from the panel. The console has five buttons: two large red circles representing left and right, and three gray buttons on the top right, mainly for settings. There is a metal stand on the back.
Game & Watch WIDESCREEN-Parachute is a product of the Japanese company Nintendo, which my mother bought when she was a child. Released on June 19, 1981, this handheld game console is much more than just a game; it carries precious memories. When she gave it to me a few years ago, I was surprised that she had something so special in her childhood. Her decision to trust me touched me deeply.
The console is still functional, although it needs special batteries that I can no longer get these days. It is in good condition and still contains the original box and instructions that came with it. For me, this object is a symbol of the connection between generations. I plan to keep it and give it to my child one day - just like my mom gave it to me.
What particularly excites me about this console is the thought of how they created such devices 40 years ago. This mindset reminds me of the incredible history and achievements that humanity has achieved, and encourages me to cherish those precious memories and moments we share throughout time.

We invite you to summon the muses to the Museum of Flavors by thinking about the flavors in your life—at and away from the table; and remember the moments you associate with a particular taste.
First, we chose the instruments: for the "salty" guitar (Astrid Kukovič), for the "bitter" piano (Sašo Vollmaier), for the "sour" harmonica (Dominik Cvitanič), for the "burning" violin (Andreja Klinc) and for the "sweet" flute (Asia Grauf). Melodies were created spontaneously. "Bitter" improvisations are low and legato, "salty" more decisive, articulate, "sour" high and dissonant, while "sweet" ones are unison, slow and soft.

An important mission of modern museums is to connect the past with the present, implement new approaches for the cultivation of new generations and work in favor of culture and society in general. We invite you to read the personal stories of people who have contributed their objects to the Museum of Taste, and at the same time let this be an invitation to participate in the project yourself.
