Heimat- und Naturkunde-Museum Wanne-Eickel

The museum occupies a former school building near the Rhine-Herne Canal, featuring exhibitions about local history and natural heritage of the Ruhr region.

Established in 1926 during the founding of Wanne-Eickel city, the museum changed locations several times before settling in its current building.

The museum displays statues of a miner, railway worker, and inland waterway sailor, representing the main economic sectors of the historical Wanne-Eickel.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, Saturday 14:00 to 17:00, and Sunday 11:00 to 17:00, with entry at 1.50 euros.

The permanent exhibition includes an Art Nouveau pharmacy and a traditional Ruhr region kiosk crowned by the figure of Fortuna, goddess of luck.
