Presenting Serious and Difficult Material – Death and Dying

While death is the ultimate fate of every one of us, confronting it is difficult and often avoided. Should science museums deal with this topic? If so, how? What would be the rationale for deciding to approach this challenging topic? What would be included in such an exhibition? And how might a museum exhibition on death and dying facilitate a conversation between parents and children? This session brings together three different approaches in different cultural and social settings and assesses their successes, failures, and outcomes.
