Operated by Gasometer Pforzheim · Pforzheim, Baden-württemberg
Located in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, the Gasometer Pforzheim offers a truly distinct indoor adventure highlighting the grandeur of one of the world's most vital ecosystems—the Amazon rainforest. This vast former gas storage tank has been transformed into a towering gallery space, housing the AMAZONIEN mural, a colossal 3000m² panoramic artwork that vividly captures the diverse vegetation, wildlife, and intricate ecological layers of the Amazon basin. Visitors ascend a multi-level viewing tower inside the gasometer, each platform offering a different angle from which to absorb the lush rainforest scene unfolding all around. Here, the experience feels more like a journey through the canopy than a conventional museum exhibit.
The Amazon rainforest’s complex ecosystem is brought to life, not through live immersion but rather through a striking and ultra-realistic artistic interpretation, making it a go-to destination for nature lovers, educators, and groups interested in biodiversity and conservation. Unlike outdoor settings, this experience promises all-weather access with an intimate connection to a natural environment that’s otherwise distant and challenging to reach. Located in the heart of Pforzheim, the Gasometer stands out as a cultural and scientific landmark in a region better known for Black Forest trails and urban explorations.
Gasometer Pforzheim’s unique blend of art, ecology, and architecture marks it as a significant destination within southern Germany’s outdoor-leaning travel scene.
