Where to Put the Dog? An Exhibition about Bonding, Farewell, and Memory
The special exhibition Where to Put the Dog? opens at the Museum of Sepulchral Culture in Kassel from May 7 to November 1, 2026, providing a poignant space for questions that touch on the relationship between humans and animals beyond life. The presentation is part of dazwischen 4.0 and combines multimedia access, interviews, and exhibits with a clever museum curation that transforms the artistic experience into a quiet, contemplative exhibition atmosphere.
Between Care, Loss, and Cultural Memory
The exhibition highlights how closely animal companions are integrated into family life and what forms of farewell emerge from this. It is not only about grief, but also about memory culture, the question of the place of death, and cultural education in dealing with finitude. The Museum of Sepulchral Culture, which deals with dying, death, burial, mourning, and remembrance, creates the appropriate interpretative framework for this.
Multimedia Engagement with Personal Involvement
Visitors encounter an exhibition that does not explain from a distance but invites personal positioning. With pen, paper, and also through digital participation, thoughts can be contributed. This openness gives the presentation a special aesthetic experience: documents, photographic positions, and thematic stations condense into a dialogic course that intertwines emotional resonance and historical reflection.
