Big City Wilderness at the Zeche Hannover: Rediscovering Nature in Bochum

The outdoor exhibition Big City Wilderness brings urban nature right into Bochum-Hordel. On the grounds of the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover, photographer Sven Meurs presents wild city moments amidst industrial backdrops, green spaces, and surprising biodiversity.

Urban Nature Meets Industrial Culture

The exhibition broadens the perspective on animals that have found their place in big cities. Wild boars, foxes, and kingfishers do not appear here as footnotes but as main actors in a special event experience. This very perspective makes the tour so impressive: urban, vibrant, attentive, and close to the pulse of the city.

Photography with an Eye for the Hidden

Sven Meurs has been working for many years as a photo journalist, speaker, author, and moderator. His work revolves around urban wilderness, biodiversity, and habitat protection. For Big City Wilderness, he relies on images that make the everyday life of urban nature visible and maintain the audience's mood between wonder and discovery.

The Perfect Place for a Special Exhibition Experience

The LWL Museum Zeche Hannover combines historical industrial culture with open outdoor areas, barrier-free access, and clear visitor organization. Thus, the exhibition fits ideally into an environment that brings history, nature, and modern audience engagement together. Those who want to experience Bochum from a different side will find a strong interplay of place, theme, and atmosphere here.

Visit with Added Value

The exhibition runs during the summer half-year and can be well combined with a museum visit. On-site, the outdoor areas, connections by bus and train, as well as available barrier-free offerings ensure a relaxed visit. Thus, a visit to the exhibition becomes a compact, inspiring leisure program in Bochum.

Conclusion: Big City Wilderness makes the hidden nature of the city visible and transforms the Zeche Hannover into a place full of images, thoughts, and new impressions. Those who love urban nature and photography should discover this exhibition experience live.
