Despite fully attention of most current architects to the sense of eyesight, architecture stimulates all of our senses. This paper discusses the perception of senses in architecture, explaining how they work and influence on each other and the differences between them. Besides giving examples of programs to improve conscious perception in an architectural space. In author`s Thesis announced with “Five Senses Museum” it has been attempted to consider all senses in frame of architecture because consciously or spontaneous they affect perception of space and also make it a place to remind with five senses. To approach this aim, this museum contains five main galleries to deal with five senses, notes the correct behavior to the senses and attempts to guide human to recognize itself with practicing domination to senses and recognizing them and learning to be in the moment concentrated. So a beyond perception among the traditional museums is possible.
