Gasometer Oberhausen
One of Europe's tallest exhibition spaces. Inside a 117-metre-tall former gas holder, spectacular large-scale nature and art exhibitions are staged.
The gas holder, built in 1929, stands 117 metres tall. After conversion, its huge hollow interior became an exhibition space. In recent years it has hosted large-scale image and installation shows such as “Earth,” “Coral” and “Fragile Paradise,” which have been widely acclaimed. Looking up at the giant Earth model suspended in the air is unforgettable. Take the glass elevator or climb the stairs to the rooftop terrace, which overlooks the Ruhr and the Rhine-Herne Canal. Tickets cost about 15 euros. Check the official website for exhibition dates.
