Eternal Sounds: When Post-Mining Becomes Audible

On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the German Mining Museum Bochum will open its doors from 9:30 AM for a special event experience: The expansive sound sculpture Eternal Sounds by Moritz Fehr translates the acoustic presence of the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining into the museum's entrance hall. Visitors dive into a sound landscape of humming, rushing, and vibrations – an event atmosphere that blends research, art, and industrial history.

Sound Art with Depth

Sounds from water management, fans, generators, and shaft fillings are curated, bundled, and newly experienced in space. The result is a dense yet finely tuned sound image that captivates the audience's mood from the very first moment and sharpens the senses for the invisible underground.

Curated Listening Experience in the Museum

The installation unfolds in the spacious architecture of the museum foyer. Thanks to precise organization and modern event technology, a clearly guided listening path is created – ideal for individual explorations or visiting as part of a museum day. The exhibition seamlessly integrates into the museum's proven event management.

Knowledge Meets Atmosphere

As a Leibniz Research Museum, the German Mining Museum has been conveying expertise in geo-resources since 1930. Eternal Sounds connects this expertise with sensory impressions: The sonorous vibrating evokes active mines, the quiet rushing reminds of kilometers of pipelines – a rare interplay of science, culture, and audience engagement for families, students, and culture enthusiasts.
