The Public Green: Seeing Bochum with new eyes

The Public Green: A tour that makes Bochum's city park come alive

This tour at the Kunstmuseum Bochum opens the perspective on the city park as a vibrant cultural and natural space. The group exhibition The Public Green takes the 150th anniversary of Bochum's city park as an occasion to connect the history, present, and future of one of the oldest publicly accessible parks in the Ruhr area.

A true discovery experience between museum and park

The tour links art, local history, and urban development into a guided experience with a special atmosphere. Where cows, sheep, and goats once grazed on the grounds of the former common land, today a multifaceted biotope invites strolls, contemplation, and exploration. The exhibition grows out of the museum into the park and questions the use of space, resources, and communal usage.

Cultural heritage, city park, and contemporary art in dialogue

Visitors experience Bochum from a new perspective: as a city with a strong cultural heritage, an exciting museum landscape, and a public green that has been shaping the area for generations. The works of the participating artists, collectives, and creators open various viewpoints on nature, community, and urban living spaces. Thus, the city tour becomes a cultural enrichment with a clear focus on Bochum's identity.

A place with history to touch

The Kunstmuseum Bochum is located on the edge of the city park and just a stone's throw from the city center. The location on Kortumstraße connects architecture, collection, and exhibition program with a wide view of the park. This proximity makes the tour particularly special: The urban space is not just described but directly experienced.
