Eternal Sounds at the German Mining Museum Bochum: Experience the Sounds of Post-Mining Live
On May 27, 2026, the sound sculpture Eternal Sounds by Moritz Fehr will transform the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum into a vibrant sound field. Visitors will immerse themselves in the acoustic world of the eternal tasks of post-mining starting at 09:30 AM and experience a special event experience in the heart of Bochum.
A Sound Space Between Underground and Museum
Water pumps, fans, electromagnetic humming, and the rumbling of shaft fillings: The installation shapes a pervasive composition from authentic field recordings. The event atmosphere swings between contemplative and electrifying, and the audience's mood grows with each vibration carried from the underground to the surface.
Art Meets Research: Expertise Made Audible
As a Leibniz research museum, the DBM connects exhibition practice, communication, and research. Eternal Sounds transfers acoustic data from post-mining into a sensorially experienced sound sculpture. The result: a precisely curated sound image that cleverly combines target group communication, organization, and event planning on site.
Moritz Fehr: Biographical Background and Artistic Signature
The Berlin-based artist and researcher Moritz Fehr develops works at the intersection of sound art, space, and perception. His projects range from mining contexts to large-format panorama sound compositions; teaching and lectures at international institutions underline his reputation.

The museum is directly at the U35 stop German Mining Museum. The visit to the installation is included in the museum ticket; the ticket office closes at 05:00 PM. On-site, the shop and gastronomy complete the exhibition visit.
