An exhibition that makes the transformation of coal impressively visible
The Path of Coal takes visitors into a changing work environment at the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover.

Photographs between Port, River, and Blast Furnace
The exhibition documents the path of coal from the Dutch coast through Rotterdam, the Rhine, and Duisburg into industrial processing.
