Urban Wilderness at the Zeche Hannover: Bochum's Outdoor Exhibition with Nature View
Between the Malakow tower, industrial architecture, and green open spaces, the LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover unfolds an extraordinary exhibition experience: Urban Wilderness showcases photographs by Sven Meurs and directs attention to animals in the city, urban nature, and the surprising closeness of wilderness and urban space.
When the city suddenly becomes wild
The outdoor exhibition brings photographs into a setting that itself breathes history. On the outdoor grounds, the atmosphere of the Ruhr area, industrial culture, and nature observation converge. This creates a special audience atmosphere: a quiet, attentive viewing, where city and wildlife are reimagined.
Photographs that turn everyday life upside down
Sven Meurs shows large cities from an unexpected perspective. Wild boars in Berlin gardens, foxes in the city center, or kingfishers in the city park represent those moments when urban habitats reveal their hidden side. The exhibition relies on strong imagery, clear observation, and an eye for the diversity of habitats.
The location makes the experience special
The LWL-Museum Zeche Hannover is one of the striking places of industrial culture in the Ruhr area. Between the grounds, machine hall, and outdoor areas, a framework is created that not only complements the exhibition but enhances it. The walk across the area becomes part of the visit: a mix of culture, outdoor format, and historical backdrop.
Practical information for your visit
The exhibition runs from May 6, 2026, to October 4, 2026 on the outdoor grounds of the museum. Admission is free. The area is easily accessible by bus, and there are barrier-free options such as step-free access to the machine hall, accessible restrooms, and designated parking for people with disabilities.
Conclusion: An outing for all who want to see the city anew
Urban Wilderness combines photographic art, nature themes, and industrial culture into a special event experience in Bochum. Anyone looking for an exhibition with a fresh perspective, a calm exploratory mood, and a strong location should experience this outdoor format live.
