An exhibition trail that makes Bochum's industrial history visible
With Path of Coal, the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum opens a special exhibition that focuses on the final stages of coal imports. Photographs by Khalil Noé Döring combine documentary depth with the unique atmosphere of the historic Malakow tower, making a piece of industrial culture newly experiential. Admission is free, the exhibition runs until October 25, 2026. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/mitteilung.php?urlID=63343&utm_source=openai))
Photography meets industrial culture
The show features large-format images from research along current supply chains. The resulting photographs tell the story of transport, labor, and material flows in a way that creates more than just an exhibition: a precise event experience with a strong connection to the Ruhr area's identity. The historical location further enhances this effect because the gallery in the Malakow tower provides a distinctive architectural frame for the images.
