Where to go with the dog? – an exhibition about farewell, memory, and animal bonds
At the Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Kassel, the special exhibition "Where to go with the dog?" opens a view on an emotional and culturally historic question: How do people deal with the loss of animal companions? The presentation is part of the update 4.0 of the ongoing exhibition "in between. You, life, and finiteness" and runs from May 7 to November 1, 2026. Multimedia stations, personal thoughts, and sensitive curation make the visit a reflective art experience with a strong exhibition atmosphere.

Between life world and mourning space
The exhibition addresses where private experience and cultural education intersect: in the relationship between humans and dogs, in farewell, burial, memory, and the final stages of life. The museum describes itself as a place that examines death, dying, mourning, and remembrance historically, artistically, socially, and scientifically. It is precisely from this that the exhibition derives its special depth. ([sepulkralmuseum.de](https://www.sepulkralmuseum.de/))
Multimedia, empathetic, and dialogical
Visitors gain a multimedia insight into questions of letting go and can bring in their own thoughts. This creates a space for viewing the works, where not only objects but also personal memories and cultural rituals become visible. The exhibition invites visitors to understand mourning not as something to be suppressed, but as part of aesthetic experience and museum educational mediation.
