Eternal Sounds in Bochum: When the ground starts to resonate
On July 26, 2026, the German Mining Museum Bochum opens its doors at 09:30 AM – and with them the ears for a special event experience: The expansive sound sculpture Eternal Sounds by the artist Moritz Fehr makes the ongoing tasks of post-mining audible and tangible. Between exhibition lights and mining towers, an impressive soundscape unfolds, seamlessly connecting audience mood and event atmosphere.
Hear what is otherwise concealed
The noise of water pumps, the hum of fans, the electromagnetic buzzing, and the pounding of shaft fillings: Using real sounds and vibrations from post-mining, Moritz Fehr composes an immersive installation. Through a precisely planned sound system, acoustic traces from the depths are transmitted into the entrance hall – a sensual ambiance intertwining technology, space, and history.
Excellent curation and precise event planning
As a Leibniz research museum for geo-resources, the DBM combines expertise in organization, event management, and target group outreach. The installation is integrated into the regular museum visit – including permanent exhibition, demonstration mine, and tower ride. The result: a flowing pathway from factual exhibits to emotional sound events.
Accessibility and comfortable travel
The museum is partially barrier-free accessible, with designated parking spaces in close proximity. With the U35, visitors can reach the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum stop directly. Parking is available around the house, with additional spaces in the police parking garage on Schillerstraße during the weekend.
