Urban Wilderness: When Bochum becomes a stage for city nature

The outdoor exhibition Urban Wilderness brings photographs by Sven Meurs to the LWL Museum Zeche Hannover and focuses on animals that have long found their own space in the city. According to Bochum Tourism, the exhibition presents German cities from a new perspective and highlights wild boars, foxes, and kingfishers.

A place with history and character

Zeche Hannover is one of the LWL museums for industrial culture and tells an impressive story of the Ruhr area with its Malakow tower, machine hall, and open spaces. The museum describes the site as a place where hard coal was mined until 1973; today, the grounds shape the unique ambiance of this exhibition.
