Discover Bochum's City Park as a Cultural Space
This tour at the Kunstmuseum Bochum opens up the perspective on the city park as a vibrant place between history, landscape, and contemporary art. On May 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the format will guide you through the exhibition The Public Green, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Bochum's city park.
A Stroll Through Memory and Present
The exhibition tells the story of the city park as one of the oldest publicly accessible parks in the Ruhr area. Since its establishment in 1876 on the grounds of the former common land, it has stood for communal space, movement, encounters, and urban quality of life. The tour connects this local history with current artistic positions and makes visible how closely nature, city, and cultural heritage are intertwined in Bochum.
An Experience of Discovery Between Museum and Park
Visitors experience a city tour in a museum context, which goes beyond classical art appreciation. The group exhibition expands from the museum into the park and questions how public spaces are used, shared, and protected today. This creates an intense discovery experience for all those who wish to see Bochum with new eyes.
Art, Greenery, and Urban Identity
The exhibition features artistic positions from Anikẹ Joyce Sadiq, Black Archive Germany, Dagie Brundert, FreelingWaters, Lin May Saeed, Lütfiye Güzel, Marina Naprushkina, Peter Piller, Randomroutines, Taka Kagitomi, Thomas Geiger, and others. This creates a multifaceted picture of the park as a biotope, stage, and refuge. Those attending the tour will discover Bochum not only as a cultural city but also as a place of urban nature.
