Urban Wilderness in Bochum: City nature meets industrial culture
From May 6, 2026, an exhibition opens at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover that changes the perspective on the city: Urban Wilderness showcases photographs by Sven Meurs in the outdoor area of the museum, focusing on animals and plants in urban spaces. The exhibition combines nature photography, industrial culture, and a special event experience in the open air.

Photography that tells a new story of urban space
The images draw attention to the often-overlooked city nature: wildlife, habitats, and small oases in the everyday life of the metropolis. According to the LWL press release, Sven Meurs wants to humorously raise awareness for the uniqueness of these habitats and spark enthusiasm for biodiversity. This creates a special atmosphere among the audience on site. ([lwl.org](https://www.lwl.org/pressemitteilungen/mitteilung.php?urlID=63669&utm_source=openai))

The exhibition takes place outdoors, and the area invites a calm stroll between the museum, green spaces, and photographic subjects. Food and drinks may be brought along, and snack and drink vending machines are available on weekends and public holidays.
