You might try ESI Design in New York. They have done this kind of project before (I'm not sure specifically about the olfactory) but they would probably be interested in the idea.

Subject: Aroma Stations


Greetings to all…
 
I know that some museums use “aroma stations” to engage visitors’ sense of smell in exhibits.  Does anyone have any suggestions about specific firms or designers that create these types of interactives?  Is there a technical term for these types of exhibits?  I’ve tried to search the web under olfactory emitters and I get a number of hits, but nothing that looks like it would be used in a museum.  I’ll spare you all the details, but I have some “unusual” nineteenth-century odors I’d like to bring to our visitors in an upcoming exhibit.  
 
Thank you all in advance for your help.
