A Journey into the Depths of Earth’s History at the Rhine Museum Koblenz
With Talking Stones – The Devon Sea, the Rhine Museum Koblenz invites you to an exhibition that uniquely combines nature, science, and wonder. Fossilized creatures, impressive slate formations, and photographs by Klaus Hammerl open up a view into a world that lay beneath a shallow sea around 400 million years ago.
When Stones Tell Stories
The exhibition makes visible what otherwise remains hidden: fossils, rock layers, and traces of long-gone habitats. Visitors experience a vibrant exhibition experience that combines knowledge and atmosphere. This creates an impressive access to the geology of the Rhineland, especially for families, children, and nature-loving guests.
A Museum with Strong Thematic Depth
The Rhine Museum Koblenz has been a fixed institution for cultural and regional history on the Rhine since 1912. Located in Ehrenbreitstein, it showcases topics from navigation and Rhine romanticism to early natural and human history across approximately 1,600 square meters. The special exhibition fits harmoniously into this curated museum landscape and expands it with a fascinating view into prehistoric times.
For Families, School Classes, and the Curious
The event appeals to different target groups: Children discover images of a distant marine world, while adults gain in-depth insights into earth history and paleontology. The exhibition is suitable for a relaxed museum visit, for school projects, and for anyone looking for an informative indoor experience during rain or on quiet days.
