Urban Wilderness in Bochum: When the city becomes a stage for nature

With the outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness, the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum offers a glimpse into a city that never stands still yet is full of quiet encounters. The photographs by Sven Meurs show wildlife in urban spaces and make visible how closely nature and the city blend together in the Ruhr area and beyond.

City nature to marvel at

The exhibition focuses on strong visual moments: foxes in the city center, wild boars at the edge of dense settlements, kingfishers in the midst of the urban landscape. This creates a unique event experience that doesn't have to be loud to have a lasting impact. Those who walk through here experience a mix of nature observation, photographic art, and reflective urban history.

Photography with attitude and an eye for the unexpected

Sven Meurs has been working as a photojournalist, speaker, author, and moderator for many years. His focus is on urban nature, environmental photography, and the relationship between humans and nature. This professional depth also shapes the exhibition in Bochum: it is not only visually impressive but also conveys knowledge about biodiversity, habitats, and the adaptability of wildlife in urban environments.

A fitting place for industrial culture and the present

The LWL Museum Zeche Hannover combines historical industrial backdrops with a current cultural program. This combination makes the visit particularly appealing. Between outdoor areas, museum grounds, and the atmosphere of a traditional site, a coherent excursion destination arises for all who wish to connect culture, photography, and nature themes.

Practical tips for your visit

The exhibition is designed as an outdoor format and takes place at the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover at Günnigfelder Straße 251 in Bochum.
