The Art of Death

Come face to face with the most universal experience in human history.

Sponsored by Bryan-Braker Funeral Home

 

Across time and cultures, humans have sought to make sense of our inevitable finale with acceptance and fear intertwined with curiosity. Filtered through the lenses of art, history, science, and culture, The Art of Death explores the ways society depicts, honors, and confronts death to reveal how our relationship with mortality continually evolved. What will you uncover about one of life’s greatest mysteries?
