The sound sculpture Eternal Sounds by Moritz Fehr transforms the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum into an audible panorama of post-mining. Visitors experience an impressive event atmosphere, in which humming, noise, and vibrations shape the public mood and create an extraordinary event experience.
