Fossils, Photos, and 400 Million Years of History at the Rhine Museum
With the exhibition Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea, the Rhine Museum Koblenz opens a window into a time when a shallow sea lay where the Rhine flows today. On 2026-11-18 10:00:00, visitors can expect an impressive event experience that bridges geology, local history, and modern photographic art.
A Journey into the Devon Sea
The exhibition showcases fossils from the Rhineland slate mountains and illustrates how rich the region is in traces of long-lost habitats. New and partly unique finds from the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz meet large-format photographs by Klaus Hammerl. This creates a special event atmosphere that combines knowledge and wonder.
When Stones Tell Stories
The focus is on fossils that recount the life in the Devon Sea: mollusks, corals, sea lilies, and other testimonies of an ancient marine world. The curated presentation emphasizes vivid communication and appeals to both families and geology-interested guests. Especially for children, the exhibition provides an exciting access to nature, science, and history.
The Rhine Museum as a Strong Exhibition Venue
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and is known for its cultural-historical orientation around the Rhine. With its location in Ehrenbreitstein, its extensive collection, and changing special exhibitions, it creates an environment that ideally combines event planning and museum visits. The exhibition fits seamlessly into the thematic world of the house.
Visit with Practical Benefits
The regular museum visit is possible from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM; the museum remains closed on Mondays.
