A Tour with Surprising Depth

The installation addresses the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining and translates technical processes into a sensual form. Those walking through the museum experience not only a special exhibition but also a multifaceted sound art that relates environment, industrial history, and the present. The German Mining Museum Bochum considers itself a Leibniz research museum for geo-resources and presents its thematic world above and below ground with a clear expertise.

Atmosphere Between Industry, Research, and Present

Sounds of pumps, pipes, fans, and infrastructure are condensed in Moritz Fehr's work into a spatial composition. This creates a unique event atmosphere: concentrated, thoughtful, and yet intense. This fits the institution that has collected, preserved, researched, and communicated mining history since 1930. ([bergbaumuseum.de](https://www.bergbaumuseum.de/en/visit/forever-sounds))
