Big City Wilderness: Bochum discovers urban nature anew

With Big City Wilderness, an outdoor exhibition featuring photographs by Sven Meurs enters the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover. The images open the view to animals that have long found their place in German cities, transforming the museum visit into an impressive event experience between industrial culture and urban nature.

When wildlife conquers the city

Wild boars in Berlin gardens, foxes in the Cologne city center, kingfishers in the Düsseldorf city park: The exhibition showcases famous cities from a surprisingly vibrant perspective. The photographic subjects bring the topic of biodiversity close and combine experience, knowledge, and strong images into a clear message for nature enthusiasts, families, and cultural audiences.

Photography meets environmental awareness

Sven Meurs has been working as a photojournalist, lecturer, author, and moderator for over ten years. His work revolves around urban wilderness, city nature, and the sensitive handling of habitats. This is precisely where the strength of this exhibition lies: It tells not only of animals in the city but also of perception, protection, and responsibility in urban everyday life.

A place with character: Zeche Hannover

The LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover provides the perfect setting for the exhibition. The industrial monument combines history, open spaces, and a museum atmosphere into a credible location for an exhibition about nature in the urban space. According to LWL, the museum will be open in the 2026 season and additionally offers barrier-free elements such as designated disabled parking spaces, wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and step-free access via elevator.

The catering situation also speaks for the trip to Bochum: On weekends and public holidays, snacks and drinks are available, and picnics and personal food are allowed on the premises. This makes the visit pleasantly planned and creates space for a relaxed cultural experience with exhibition tours and breaks in the greenery.
