Video: Exhibitions 1994 to 2019

The Gasometer Oberhausen looks back on 25 eventful years as Europe's highest exhibition hall with 16 exhibitions and over eight million visitors. The following video reviews the 16 exhibitions of the last 25 years.

Already with the opening of the first exhibition "Fire and Flame" on 22 July 1994, the gigantic gas storage facility made a name for itself as a "cathedral of industrial culture". Many internationally renowned artists were inspired by the unique spatial experience, including Christo, who used the Gasometer twice for his installations "The Wall" (1999) and "Big Air Package" (2013). The exhibitions "Out of this World – Wonders of the Solar System" (2009/10), "Wonder of Narure" (2016/17) and "The Call of the Mountains" (2018/19) developed as real crowd pullers. The following video gives a complete overview of all 16 exhibitions of the past 25 years.
