The Andy Warhol Museum Brings Playful Twist to the End of Life with 'Vanitas'

Reading this? Well, you’re going to DIE… which is exactly what The Andy Warhol Museum’s newest exhibition, Vanitas, explores.

To promote the exhibit, BarkleyOKRP created The Warhol Death Kit, a limited-edition art box that invites people to reframe death as a final expression of their life. Think of it as part memento mori, part design object — with tongue-in-cheek tools for crafting your own legacy, including:

• A “Write Your Own Eulogy” guidebook (because tales of your glory should not be trusted to just anyone).
• A worksheet for your “in lieu of flowers” requests. For example…”In lieu of flowers, dress like the deceased”.
• Coloring sheets to help you toy with what your tombstone will look like.
• A “What to Do With Your Hands” coffin-pose poster; featuring oft-overlooked options!
• Heaven/Hell voting paddles for your loved ones to vote on where you’ll end up.
• A recordable button to leave behind for your loved ones. Will you say something haunting or loving?
• And the official Vanitas exhibition art book
