Where to go with the dog? An exhibition about grief, attachment, and quiet reflection

At the Museum for Sepulchral Culture in Kassel, the special exhibition Where to go with the dog? – in between 4.0 opens from May 8 to November 1, 2026. The presentation examines the relationship between humans and animals in life and death, linking personal memories with museum educational mediation, multimedia impulses, and space for personal thoughts. The museum has been dedicated to the themes of dying, death, burial, mourning, and remembrance for decades.

An artistic experience between closeness and farewell

The exhibition leads to a sensitive boundary: where an animal becomes not just a companion but part of the family, a special form of memory culture arises. The staging connects interviews, exhibits, and photographs with questions about farewell, burial, and the place where animals continue to have an impact in our lives. This thematic openness makes the exhibition an aesthetic experience with resonance.

Between permanent exhibition and update 4.0

Where to go with the dog? is part of update 4.0 of the ongoing special exhibition in between. You, life and finitude. The museum's approach combines cultural historical research with contemporary mediation and provides a concentrated view of mourning practices, remembrance, and societal transformation processes. This gives the work examination a unique depth of field: not as a detached analysis, but as an encounter with existential questions.
