An art experience about farewell, care, and the relationship between humans and animals

At the Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Kassel, the special exhibition Where to put the dog? – in between 4.0 unfolds a penetrating examination of closeness, loss, and memory. The exhibition runs from 06.05.2026 to 01.11.2026 and is designed as an update to the ongoing presentation in between. You, life, and finitude. It takes a look at the human-animal relationship in life and death, connecting historical, artistic, and societal perspectives into a dense aesthetic experience.

Between mourning culture and the present

The house is considered a unique place for questions surrounding dying, death, mourning, and remembrance. It is from this that the exhibition draws its authority: It negotiates a topic that touches emotionally while being accurately embedded in cultural history. Visitors encounter multimedia approaches that stimulate personal reflection and explicitly allow individual thoughts.

How animals become figures of remembrance

At the center is the question of how we bid farewell to animal companions and what forms of remembrance arise from this. The exhibition makes visible that animals are not only companions of everyday life but also part of rituals, care, and bonding. The curatorial perspective thus opens a sensitive space between burial culture, mourning work, and cultural education. ([sepulkralmuseum.de](https://www.sepulkralmuseum.de/?utm_source=openai))

A place for co-thinking and co-creating

The Museum of Sepulchral Culture has been focusing on mediation, research, and public programs for years. Guided tours are offered for the exhibition; a curator's tour is scheduled for 26.08.2026 at 5:00 PM. The format shows how the house connects museum education depth with direct engagement.
