“Pooch” Exhibition

Now extended to Sunday 26th April 2026

This exhibition celebrates humanity’s enduring bond with the dog and brings together archaeology, science, folklore, and pop culture to tell the fascinating story of our “best friend.” From the earliest archaeological evidence tracing the evolution of domestic dogs to their role in today’s society, POOCH invites visitors to explore the many ways dogs have shaped – and been shaped by – human lives.

The exhibition features fascinating objects loaned from Essex Police Museum, The Black Shuck Festival and The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, as well as photographs and stories from the community.

The museum’s October half-term activities and Halloween event are themed around this exhibition. Join us for a Howling Half-Term www.saffronwaldenmuseum.org.uk  Ticket booking: https://saffron-walden-museum.arttickets.org.uk
