OBEX | Oberhausen

In the location's words:

OBEX | Oberhausen - Immerse yourself in new worlds

Right in the heart of the Ruhr region, OBEX | Oberhausen is a spectacular new venue for immersive exhibitions and experiences. Where industrial culture once dominated the cityscape, a world full of innovations, emotions and experiences now opens up in four former factory halls covering over 5,500 square meters.

OBEX impressively combines historical architecture with state-of-the-art technology - depending on the project, this includes immersive 360° projections, virtual reality worlds and interactive stations, combined with a first-class sound system - exhibitions can hardly be experienced more intensively.

Thanks to its central location in Oberhausen, direct links to public transport and two freeways and ample parking facilities, OBEX is easy to reach - for visitors from the Ruhr region and all over Germany. The experience is rounded off by its own catering facilities.

OBEX sets new standards in exhibition culture - and invites visitors not only to see history, but also to experience and feel it.
