Urban Wilderness: When Bochum presents urban nature in a whole new way

The outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness brings photographs by Sven Meurs to the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum-Hordel. The focus is on animals that live in the city and often only become visible upon closer inspection – from foxes in the city center to wild boars in Berlin gardens. The exhibition surprisingly highlights urban nature, urban habitats, and a respectful view of plant and animal species in everyday life.

Urban Nature as an Experience

The ambiance of the historic Zeche creates a strong contrast for this exhibition: industrial backdrop, green open spaces, and a theme that directly connects to the present. Exactly here, Urban Wilderness unfolds its impact, as the museum sees itself as a place for industrial culture and changing events. The combination of place, theme, and photography makes the visit a unique event experience.
