Eternal Sounds at the German Mining Museum: Sounds that touch the soul

The expansive sound sculpture 'Eternal Sounds' by Moritz Fehr makes the acoustic presence of the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining experienceable. On June 5, 2026, the work unfolds in the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum – an intense event experience bridging art, technology, and regional culture.

Audience Mood: Between Vibration and Goosebumps

Soft rustling, deep humming, fine vibrations: The event atmosphere arises from original sounds from pumps, fans, generators, seismic recordings, and measurement systems. Sounds travel through the space via over 21 speakers, swelling and fading – a sensory parcours that sharpens attention and awakens emotions.

Artistic Signature: Research Meets Spatial Sound

Fehr's conceptual approach combines objectivity and emotion into a precisely curated sound landscape. Organization and event planning on-site ensure clear visitor guidance; the target audience ranges from art and sound lovers to technology enthusiasts and those interested in the Ruhr area.

Site-Specific and Close

The installation has been specifically developed for the entrance hall of the museum. It acoustically brings invisible processes of post-mining to the surface – a strong example of successful event management in a research museum of the Leibniz Gemeinschaft.

Arrive Well-Informed

The museum opens on June 5 from 09:30 to 17:30. The regular museum admission includes the special exhibitions; parking is available around the building, and barrier-free access points are marked. Information about entry, cloakroom, and visitor service facilitates planning.
