Talking Stones – a journey into the Devon Sea at the Rhein-Museum Koblenz
The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Earth's history. At the Rhein-Museum Koblenz, fossil finds from the Rhenish Slate Mountains meet impressive photographs by Klaus Hammerl – an exhibition experience that closely connects nature, science, and regional history.
When Koblenz looks back 400 million years
Where the Rhine now flows through the valley, there once lay a shallow Devon sea. This primordial panorama brings the exhibition to life: fossilized creatures, marine deposits, and geological traces tell of a world that has long since vanished yet remains visible to this day. For families, school classes, and the curious, an illustrative event experience with true educational value unfolds.
Fossils, Photos and the Feeling of Geological Time
The presentation connects scientific content with striking images. Shells, corals, squid, starfish, sea lilies, brachiopods, and armored fish can be discovered as silent witnesses of the past. The photos by Klaus Hammerl give additional depth to the exhibits and create a calm, focused event atmosphere that invites closer inspection.
A strong place for strong stories
The Rhein-Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and offers a fitting setting for the exhibition with its exhibition areas. Its location in Ehrenbreitstein, beneath the fortress and close to the Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein train station, makes visiting well-planned. Those interested in geology, natural history, and regional special exhibitions will find a harmonious combination of content and ambiance here.
Practical for the visit
The exhibition runs in a museum context and is thereby ideal for a relaxed cultural appointment in Koblenz. According to visitor information, admission costs 7 euros for adults, 3 euros for students; children under 5 years have free entry. The museum is largely barrier-free with an elevator, a visitor parking lot is available behind the building, and currently, only cash payments are accepted.
Conclusion: Talking Stones – The Devon Sea connects knowledge, images, and a spirit of discovery to create a special museum visit in Koblenz. Anyone wanting to experience Earth’s history sensually, vividly, and closely should visit this exhibition live.
