Urban Wilderness: When Bochum's Urban Nature Becomes Visible at the Mining Site

The outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness brings new perspectives on urban nature to the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover in Bochum from May 6 to October 4, 2026. It features photographs by Sven Meurs that make wildlife in urban areas visible and sharpen the view of life between asphalt, gardens, and green spaces.

A Stroll Through Urban Nature Moments

A unique event experience unfolds between the historical industrial context of the Zeche Hannover and the open exhibition space: here, photography, nature observation, and industrial culture come together. The exhibition showcases German cities from an unusual perspective - with wild boars in Berlin gardens, foxes in Cologne, or kingfishers in Düsseldorf.

Photography with an Eye for the Hidden

Photographer Sven Meurs consciously opts for a humorous yet attentive visual language. His approach draws attention to the habitats of animals and plants in the city and places themes like urban nature, biodiversity, and sustainable perception at the forefront. For visitors, this results in a vibrant mix of experience, knowledge, and discovery. ([zeche-hannover.lwl.org](https://zeche-hannover.lwl.org/de/veranstaltungen/?current=1&id=1100510))
