Weiß der Geier! Was die Tiere uns bedeuten
In the organizer's words:
Myths, fairy tales, marketing - at all times, human culture has found visible expression in its relationship with animals.
Animals have been feared and revered, hunted, bred, loved and eaten. Human characteristics were attributed to animals and animal attributes were attributed to some people. Powerful rulers bore lions, bears or eagles in their coats of arms. Other contemporaries are still sometimes called stupid donkeys, little piglets, cunning foxes or thieving magpies. Animals play a mythological role in all religions and the great fairy tale classics are populated by booted cats, enchanted frogs and ugly ducks that sometimes turn into beautiful swans and princes. Today, in the modern industrial age, animals are part of pop culture and often advertising media for almost any kind of product.
The exhibition "White of the Vultures! What animals mean to us" takes a look at the history of the relationship between humans and animals.
