Ausstellungseröffnung: dazwischen 3.0 - Was kostet der Tod?

In the organizer's words:

You, life and finiteness: Update 3.0

Money and death have one thing in common: you are advised not to talk about them - at least if you want to keep the conversation light and innocuous. On September 25, we will open the third update of our ongoing special exhibition in between. You, life and finiteness. Entitled "What's the cost of death?", it's all about the price of last things.

The program

Welcome by the museum director Dr. Dirk Pörschmann

Greetings from Minister of State Timon Gremmels

Greeting by Lord Mayor Dr. Sven Schoeller

Introduction to the exhibition by curator Tatjana Ahle-Rosental

With musical accompaniment by singer/songwriter Nicole Jukic.

Further information will follow shortly.

In between.

What does death cost?

You, life and finiteness: Update 3.0

What are you wearing on your last journey?
In what form do you imagine death?
Who pays for the last things?
How much does an urn, a coffin, the whole funeral cost?
How can a museum help you with these questions?
And what are the plans for the renovation of the Museum of Sepulchral Culture?

The Museum of Sepulchral Culture has been dedicated to the topics of dying, death, burial, mourning and remembrance for over 30 years. In 2027, it will be temporarily closed, rebuilt and renovated. The goal: a new permanent exhibition. In the meantime, until the reopening, we are now focusing on current developments, content and questions. We want to find new exhibits and present existing exhibits in such a way that they can also tell your story.

With in between. You, life and finiteness, we are preparing our new permanent exhibition. Since the opening of this special temporary exhibition, we have already received exciting responses from you. We also invite you to help shape and get involved in the new update. Discover exhibits from the fine and applied arts as well as cultural-historical objects. Immerse yourself in topics of sepulchral culture and take a stand on them. You won't be alone: the program includes lectures, discussions, readings and artistic interventions - for children and adults alike.

Come along to our field of experimentation.
It's about you, your life and finiteness.
