Metropolis Wilderness in Bochum: Photography meets real city nature
The outdoor exhibition Metropolis Wilderness brings the hidden wildlife of the city into focus at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover. It features photographs by Sven Meurs, who has been working for many years as a photojournalist, lecturer, author, and moderator, engaging with urban nature, biodiversity, and the perspective on urban habitats.
Between Malakow Tower, green space, and nature observation
The exhibition is designed as an outdoor experience and uses the historic industrial area as a stage for a theme that perfectly suits Bochum: nature finds its place even where people shape everyday life, traffic, and architecture. This contrast is what makes the exhibition appealing. The visual language feels close, attentive, and vibrant - ideal for those who appreciate nature photography, urban history, and unique exhibition experiences.
A visit to the exhibition with a change of perspective
According to LWL, the exhibition shows animals in the city, often hidden at night and frequently overlooked. The tour thus combines exhibition, industrial culture, and nature observation into a compact event experience. The LWL Museum Zeche Hannover complements the visit with a site that has its own atmosphere: historic architecture, open spaces, and a place where industrial culture meets the present.
What visitors can expect on site
The exhibition is running as a continuous special exhibition in the outdoor area of the museum. Admission to the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover is free, and the site is easily accessible. Visitors benefit from barrier-free access in the outdoor area, two disabled parking spaces, and connections via bus line 368 to the Hannoverstraße stop. Small breaks are also possible: The museum offers drinks, snacks, and picnic opportunities in the green during the season.
Conclusion: A strong nature and urban experience for Bochum
Metropolis Wilderness combines photographic art, environmental awareness, and industrial charm into an unusual exhibition visit. Those who want to discover urban nature anew will find here a calm, exciting, and at the same time inspiring exhibition with real Bochum connections. A visit is especially worthwhile for families, photo fans, and anyone who wants to experience urban wilderness live.
