Dear all,

As part of a Master's thesis in Preventive Conservation in France, I am currently conducting a study on the potential impact of olfactory diffusion devices on artworks and collections in cultural institutions.
The aim of this questionnaire is to gather feedback from institutions that have already experimented with this type of mediation in exhibitions (permanent, temporary, or event-based), in order to better document existing practices and any conservation-related concerns.

The survey is anonymous and takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Any contribution, even partial, would be extremely valuable for this research, which remains a relatively underexplored topic.

Thank you very much in advance for your time !
