Documenting the unique scent of MOMA's book collection


Artist Rachael Morrison is documenting the "unique scent" of each book in MOMA's book collection. All 300,000 of them.

I've been taking (physical, non-smell-based) inventory at Stout Books in Berkeley these last couple months and some of the books' smells have definitely stood out.

I'm enjoying imagining someone trying to find or order a book by smell.
