In museum and aesthetic contexts, the role of multisensory experiences in boosting visitor engagement is well-recognised.Yet, the diverse disciplinary perspectives have led to a scattered and sometimes unclear literature landscape.This article undertakes a systematic review, combining systematic literature extraction and qualitative content analysis of 331 academic sources to address the following questions: What are the theoretical underpinnings for studying multisensory museum experiences?What are the general characteristics of these experiences?How can we understand the role of technology in sensory practices within museums and related sites?By focusing on visitors' perspectives, the review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of multisensory experiences, emphasising research framework, conceptualisation, and technology in museum practices.Furthermore, it outlines future research directions in these areas, contributing to a more unified theory and providing practical insights for exhibition design.This establishes a groundwork for nuanced future research endeavours
