For my final outing in Oberhausen, I stepped into a forest without leaving the industrial heart of Oberhausen. Inside the towering Gasometer, the “Forest Worlds” exhibition transformed a former gas storage tank into an immersive meditation on wilderness, biodiversity, and the fragile balance between humans and nature. (And jeez, it was freezing in there!) 👉🏻 The scale of the space alone was overwhelming. Massive wildlife photographs hung like living windows into Europe’s forests: wolves moving through snow, lynxes frozen mid-play, towering ancient oaks glowing with quiet authority, and red deer standing like monarchs in fields of purple heather. Around the hall, lifelike animal installations brought the forest floor into focus — wild boars moving as a family unit, raccoons hiding among tree trunks, a resting brown bear, and elusive wildcats stretching in silence. 👉🏻 What impressed me most was how the exhibition moved beyond spectacle. Every panel revealed a deeper ecological story. I learned how old woodpecker nests become homes for owls, bats, squirrels, and raccoons; how deadwood sustains entire ecosystems; how wolves, once eradicated from Germany, are slowly returning and forcing society to rethink coexistence with predators. Even the smallest creatures — slime moulds and springtails hidden in decaying forest matter — were presented as essential actors in the cycle of life. 👉🏻 The contrast between the Gasometer’s raw industrial architecture and the forest’s delicate complexity made the experience even more powerful. Standing beneath the enormous cylindrical structure while surrounded by images of ancient woodland felt like witnessing two worlds collide: extraction and regeneration, industry and ecology, past and future. Forest Worlds was a reminder that forests are not scenery. They are living systems with memory, intelligence, conflict, and resilience. #gasometer #gasometeroberhausen #travelwithkrazybutterfly #oberhausen #forestworlds
