The special exhibition Where to put the Dog? at the Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Kassel opens an unusually touching view of the relationship between humans and animals – in life as well as in death. As part of the update 4.0 of the ongoing exhibition in between. You, life, and finitude, it connects multimedia insights with an intensive examination of work and invites visitors to contribute their own thoughts.

When Care Becomes Cultural History

The Museum of Sepulchral Culture is a unique place where dying, mourning, burial, and remembrance are historically, artistically, socially, and scientifically examined. It is in this context that the new special exhibition unfolds its power: It shows how familiar environments gain significance in the last phases of life and how farewell is also related to animal companions. The atmosphere of the exhibition feels calm, contemplative, and simultaneously open to personal associations.

Multimedia Perspectives on a Universal Theme

Visitors encounter a presentation that not only informs but also creates aesthetic experience. The combination of text, image, sound, and participatory elements creates a dense spatial effect. Those who engage with the exhibition experience sepulchral culture not as a distant specialty but as a vibrant cultural practice that poses questions of memory, relationship, and dignity.

Public tours, digital formats, and educational programs make the content accessible; barrier-free access and an elevator to all exhibition levels further facilitate the visit.
