With around 6.000 exhibits, the Ruhr Museum's permanent exhibition tells the fascinating story of the Ruhr region's natural and cultural history – from the formation of coal to its transformation into the Ruhr metropolis. But there's also plenty to discover outside the museum at Zollverein: more than 60 bird species, over 40 wild bee species, and various rare amphibians call this World Heritage Site home. Many neophytes – plants from other countries that thrive in the conditions of this industrial wasteland – also feel at home here. Discover the diversity of Zollverein!
Please note: The tour is currently only partially suitable for people with mobility issues, as it leads through the original, preserved above-ground facilities of the former Zollverein Coal Mine and Coking Plant.
