Important information for visiting the Gasometer:
Please note that the Gasometer Oberhausen is an industrial monument of unique dimensions. This means it is not heated during the colder months, but can become noticeably warm on sunny days.
Forest Worlds
Follow the howling of wolves, get up close to a brown bear or linger among the roots of a giant tree: from March 20th to December 30th, the new exhibition Forest Worlds will bring the fascinating diversity of our wooded landscapes and their mysterious inhabitants to life in the Gasometer.
