At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea opens up a fascinating view into a time when, where today the Rhine Valley is located, a shallow sea shaped the landscape around 400 million years ago. The special exhibition combines fossils, historical contexts, and impressive photographs into a vibrant event experience for the curious, families, and anyone who wants to experience natural history up close.

An exhibition that makes the past palpable

The presentation showcases fossils of shells, corals, sea lilies, arthropods, and armored fish. In addition, large-format images by Klaus Hammerl draw attention to the rock world of the Middle Rhine and not only explain the Devon but also make it visually tangible. This creates a calm, focused event atmosphere where discovery and wonder are at the center.
