Since February, the BMBF's Science Year has also been running in Bochum on the theme of "Our Universe" and invites visitors to many exciting events. Starting on June 27, however, a special highlight will begin with the "Mars Finds City" campaign in the middle of the city center. Until July 13, all those interested can look forward to the exhibition of the artwork "Mars" by the British artist Luke Jerram.
