Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Talking Stones - The Devon Sea opens a fascinating journey into a world 400 million years ago. The special exhibition connects fossils, geological traces, and photographs by Klaus Hammerl into an impressive event experience that brings nature, history, and science to life.
A Glimpse into an Ancient Marine Landscape
Where today the Rhine flows through the valley, there once lay the shallow Devon Sea. This prehistoric habitat is the focus of the exhibition, showcasing fossilized life that continues to shape the geological history of the Middle Rhine to this day. Visitors encounter shells, corals, deep-sea fish, and other fossils that vividly narrate the landscape's transformation.
Fossils, Photos, and the Language of Stone
The presentation is more than a classic exhibition: It works with impressive finds, large-format photographs, and a clear, easily understandable museum organization. This creates a visit that appeals to both families and guests with a geological interest. The contrast between the quiet slate rock and the vibrant imagery of the exhibition is particularly appealing.
The Rhine Museum as a Fitting Venue
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is located in Ehrenbreitstein below the fortress and has been closely connected to the history of the Rhine as a cultural-historical museum since 1912. The exhibition rooms are largely accessible by elevator, and there is a visitor parking lot behind the museum. Admission to the museum is cash only.
Atmosphere with Educational Value and Spirit of Discovery
The atmosphere among the audience at such special exhibitions is often characterized by curiosity and wonder. Walking through the rooms, one experiences a compact, informative, and peaceful indoor format that combines knowledge with a vivid presentation. The theme of geological history holds a particular attraction for children and families.
Conclusion: Talking Stones - The Devon Sea offers an exciting look into the depths of Earth's history and makes the Rhine an ancient natural archive tangible. Anyone wishing to rediscover Koblenz and its cultural history should experience this exhibition live at the Rhine Museum.
