The exhibitions, held at these four cultural history museums, explore the complex relationship between humans and animals, shedding light on various aspects and historical shifts.

At Antikenmuseum Basel and Sammlung Ludwig, the focus is on the historical context and cultural significance of animals in human societies. The exhibitions showcase artifacts, sculptures, and interactive displays that highlight the role of animals in religion, agriculture, and everyday life.

The Historisches Museum Basel delves into the scientific and medical aspects of the human-animal relationship, exploring the evolution of veterinary medicine, animal experimentation, and the impact of animals on human health.

The Museum der Kulturen Basel takes a broader perspective, examining the cultural and artistic representations of animals throughout history, from ancient mythology to contemporary art.

Finally, the Pharmacy Museum of the University of Basel focuses on the medicinal and therapeutic uses of animals, exploring the history of veterinary science, herbal remedies, and the development of pharmaceutical drugs.

The results of these individual projects are compiled in the joint publication, which reveals the multifaceted nature of the human-animal relationship and highlights the ambivalences, dependencies, and significant historical shifts that have shaped it over centuries.

This collaborative effort showcases the rich cultural heritage and scientific expertise of these museums, providing a deeper understanding of the intricate bond between humans and animals.
