Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea: A Journey into Prehistory from Koblenz
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the special exhibition Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a view into a world that shaped today's Rhine Valley around 400 million years ago. Fossils, historical perspectives, and photographs by Klaus Hammerl make prehistory tangible in the museum experience and create a special event atmosphere for families, school classes, and anyone who wants to experience natural history up close.
Prehistory that Touches You
The exhibition takes you right into the shallow Devon Sea, whose traces remain visible today in rock layers and fossils.
