If you’re looking for a Japanese experience at the MUPE, this summer you can explore YUPICA: Eikō – Aromatic Shadow, an immersive exhibition that transforms perfume into a way to explore Japanese art, architecture, and sensibility. Through various sensory spaces, the exhibition invites visitors to discover how scents can evoke emotions, memories, and stories that often remain hidden from view.
Far from a traditional exhibition, this experience invites visitors to “see with their noses” and let their imagination complete the journey. Each installation is designed to create a dialogue between light, shadow, and scent, drawing inspiration from Japanese aesthetics and the ability of fragrances to reveal what is not always visible.
An exhibition where perfume takes center stage
YUPICA: Eikō – Aromatic Shadow brings together elements of art, Japanese culture, and design to offer an immersive experience unlike any typically found in Mexico City. Instead of merely viewing objects or pieces, visitors participate in a journey where the sense of smell guides the experience and each scent invites them to interpret the space from a new perspective.
It’s an ideal outing for those who enjoy immersive exhibitions, are looking for unique cultural activities, or simply want to experience an event that combines creativity, sensibility, and perfume all in one place.
