Talking Stones: A Journey into the Devon Sea at the Rhine Museum Koblenz
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea provides a fascinating insight into a time when a shallow sea shaped the landscape where the Rhine flows today. The exhibition combines fossils, images, and geological traces into an impressive event experience for families, school classes, and curious explorers.
Prehistory You Can Touch
The presentation showcases new and partly unique fossil findings from the Devon Sea. Shells, corals, deep-sea fish, and other fossilized evidence tell of a world that defined life in this region around 400 million years ago. This creates a lively atmosphere, especially for children, where science and wonder come closely together.
A Museum with History and Attitude
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and has been a permanent place for cultural history, shipping, and natural history on the Rhine since 1912. As visitors walk through the rooms, they experience not only a special exhibition but also the strength of good event planning: clear themes, ample space for discoveries, and a harmonious interplay of exhibits and narrative. This transforms a museum visit into a calm yet very intense excursion into Earth's history.
Visiting, Directions, and Practical Tips
The Rhine Museum is located in Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, diagonally to the right of the train station and below the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. There is a visitor parking lot behind the museum.
