Urban Wilderness in Bochum: Nature meets industrial culture at the Zeche Hannover

With Urban Wilderness, an outdoor exhibition enters the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover, impressively bringing together city and nature. The photographs by Sven Meurs showcase animals in German cities, introducing wilderness right in the urban space. The result is an unusual event experience that invites wonder, discovery, and further reflection.

A tour full of surprising perspectives

Amid industrial backdrops, historic grounds, and green spaces, a special event atmosphere emerges. Visitors experience an exhibition that does not linger in quiet rooms but takes place outdoors, thus directly merging with the location. This connection of photographic art, landscape, and the character of the Ruhr area creates the appeal of this presentation.

Photographic art with a focus on the urban

The images draw attention to animals that live in cities, often unnoticed, sometimes right in the midst of daily life. Thus, the exhibition combines artistic quality with a clear thematic core: nature is also present where it is not first suspected. For guests who appreciate exhibitions with social and ecological dimensions, the format offers a strong appeal to specific target groups.

Zeche Hannover as a suitable exhibition venue

The LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover is one of the significant sites of Bochum's industrial culture. The historic Malakow tower, the spacious outdoor area, and the unique architecture create an ambiance that effectively showcases the works of Sven Meurs. It is precisely the combination of monument preservation, museum operations, and open spaces that fosters a distinctive audience atmosphere.

Practical planning for the visit

According to the museum, the exhibition will be on view from May 6, 2026, to October 4, 2026, and admission is free. The site is well-connected to the bus network via the Hannoverstraße and Röhlinghauser Straße stops.

Additionally, the museum offers snacks, drinks, and seating in the greenery on weekends and holidays.
