ExtraSchicht im Deutschen Bergbau-Museum Bochum

Shift Change at the German Mining Museum

Where machines once roared, beats and lights now take center stage. In the courtyard, a DJ sets the tone for the night, while lasers trace glowing lines across the sky. The winding tower and the exhibition mine are open to the public, offering unique perspectives. Walking acts surprise visitors among the exhibits, while families get creative at hands-on stations. A transformation from coal to sound, from work to experience.
