Eternal Sounds: When the Post-Mining Becomes Audible

On June 14, 2026, the sound sculpture Eternal Sounds transforms the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum into a vibrating sound field. Visitors experience a unique event atmosphere: sounds and vibrations of the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining are transmitted into the museum space, making the event experience immediately tangible.

Sound from the Depths: From Pumping Noise to Shaft Filling

The work of artist Moritz Fehr condenses real sounds from underground into a spatial composition: water management systems, fans, generators, cable trays, and the hammering during shaft fillings shape an acoustic panorama of the region. This curated soundscape conveys expertise about post-mining and infrastructure – sensual, informative, and close to the audience's mood.

Curated Experience in the Research Museum

As a Leibniz Research Museum, the German Mining Museum Bochum combines excellent organization and event planning with a strong focus on target audiences: families, technology enthusiasts, sound art lovers, and Ruhr area fans all have something to enjoy. The artwork integrates into the permanent exhibition above ground, the exhibit mine underground, and the tower ride – a day full of impressions, context, and discoveries.
