Urban Wilderness brings city nature to Bochum-Hordel
At the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover, industrial culture meets nature observation: The outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness showcases photographs by Sven Meurs and directs attention to animals reclaiming urban habitats in the midst of German cities. From the first step onto the outdoor grounds at Günnigfelder Straße to the tour through the exhibition, an event experience is created that impressively combines knowledge transfer, atmosphere, and urban nature.
Photography that allows the city to be read anew
The presentation focuses on strong motifs and a clear thematic focus: Wild animals in the urban space. Sven Meurs shows how naturally foxes, wild boars, and kingfishers become part of the urban landscape. This creates a surprising change of perspective and makes the exhibition particularly exciting for families, photography enthusiasts, and anyone interested in nature in the city.
Industrial culture as a fitting backdrop
The LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover provides an environment with a special aura. The historical industrial monument in Bochum-Hordel creates a setting with its Malakow tower, machinery hall, and spacious outdoor areas that makes the theme of change tangible. This is precisely where the exhibition unfolds its effect: Between brick walls, open spaces, and museum grounds, a calm, focused audience atmosphere emerges.
An outing with added value for families and explorers
The exhibition is suitable not only for a short visit but also as a lively cultural and family excursion. Around the Zeche Hannover, there are additional offerings for children, guided tours, and programs that round out the museum visit. For Bochum visitors who wish to combine industrial history and nature themes, this format is a strong entry in the event calendar.
