Speaking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a window into a world that existed around 400 million years ago. The special exhibition combines fossil finds, natural history, and impressive photographs into an event experience that conveys knowledge vividly and atmospherically.

A Glimpse into an Ancient Marine Landscape

Where the Rhine flows through the valley today, there once lay a shallow Devon Sea. This very notion is what makes the exhibition appealing: petrified organisms, rock traces, and visual worlds from Klaus Hammerl narrate geological time periods that are otherwise hardly graspable. The result is a calm, focused museum visit with high experiential value.

History, Research, and Vivid Presentation

Behind the exhibition is the Paleoontological Working Group Koblenz, which honors its 50th anniversary with this new edition. Visitors will experience an exciting mix of scientific expertise, regional earth history, and understandable communication aimed at target groups. Families, school classes, and nature enthusiasts will find here an approach that does not instruct but inspires.

The Rhine Museum as a Suitable Setting

The Rhine Museum Koblenz is among the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and showcases around 1,600 square meters of Rhineland culture and history of life. Its location in Ehrenbreitstein, at the foot of the fortress and near the Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein train station, makes the visit easy to plan. The exhibition itself is integrated into the regular museum operation, allowing for a quick visit to be particularly easily combined with a city or family outing.
