Germany has long embraced the dachshund breed.
Originally bred in the late 17th century for badger hunting, dachshunds have become beloved worldwide for their distinctive elongated bodies, short legs, and gentle temperament.
Their distinctive appearance has inspired artists such as David Hockney and Andy Warhol, whose dachshund companions fueled their creative output.
The Kunsthalle Bremen presents the first exhibition devoted exclusively to dachshunds, showcasing approximately 120 artworks and objects by artists ranging from Pablo Picasso to Otto Dix.
The venue has been specially prepared for its canine muses, offering scented environments and a dedicated lounge for dachshunds and other small dogs.
As the physician Hippocrates once wrote, “Life is short, and art long”.
The exhibition, titled ‘The Dachshund: An Icon Off‑Leash’, is open until 28 March 2027 at the Kunsthalle Bremen.
