Speaking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey Back to the Devon Sea

At the Rhine Museum in Koblenz, the special exhibition Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a window to a world that existed around 400 million years ago beneath today's Rhine Valley. Fossils, petrifications, and large-format photographs connect science, natural history, and an impressive exhibition experience for a visit that appeals to families, school classes, and curious explorers alike.

When the Rhine Museum Invites You on a Journey to Prehistory

The exhibition tells the story of the shallow Devon Sea, featuring corals, shells, sea lilies, arthropods, and armored fish. As visitors walk through the rooms, they experience an illustrative connection of museum education, geology, and lively communication. This is the special strength of this exhibition: it transforms stone into a story and history into a tangible experience.

Fossils, Photographs, and the Language of Slate

The Paleontological Working Group Koblenz highlights new and in some cases unique finds with this exhibition. They are complemented by photographs from Klaus Hammerl, showcasing the slate of the Middle Rhine Valley in its full diversity. This creates a tension between scientific documentation and aesthetic effect, drawing the audience deeper into the world of the Devon step by step.

A Visit with Calm, Knowledge, and Family Factor

The Rhine Museum in Koblenz has a long tradition as a museum and regularly uses its special exhibitions for a fresh, target-group-oriented approach. The location of the museum also speaks for the excursion to Ehrenbreitstein: as a cultural and historical site, it is an ideal destination for a quiet afternoon with added value, especially in bad weather or as a complement to a city stroll in Koblenz.

Conclusion: An Exhibition that Brings Natural History to Life

Speaking Stones – The Devon Sea connects research, regional history, and impressive exhibits for a visit with depth. Anyone who appreciates fossils, earth history, and a good museum atmosphere should experience this special exhibition live.
