We invite you to summon the muses to the Museum of Taste by thinking about the flavors in your life—at the table and away from it. Remember the moments you associate with a particular taste.
Colors
Tastes appear in color systems as bipolar concepts, polarized into opposites, such as: bitter-sweet, sour-salty, umami-kokumi. Sweet taste is associated with the color orange, cyan blue is associated with salty, green with sour and magenta red with bitter. In addition, green shades are associated with growth. We associate yellow, orange and bright red with activity. Dark red, magenta and purple are associated with decline, while passivity is marked by blue shades.

Music
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.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM OF TASTE
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.
