Talking Stones in Koblenz: A Journey into the Devon Sea

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens up, connecting history, geology, and wonder in a unique way. Fossilized organisms, impressive photographs by Klaus Hammerl, and the fascination of a prehistoric sea take center stage in this event experience.

An Exhibition with Depth

More than 400 million years ago, where today the Rhine Valley runs, there was a shallow Devon Sea. This world comes to life in the special exhibition: fossils, marine deposits, and finds tell of a time when life on Earth underwent fundamental development. For families, school classes, and curious museum guests, a vivid mix of knowledge transfer and impressive audience atmosphere is created.

Science Meets Experience

The Rhine Museum Koblenz leverages its experience as a cultural-historical museum to stage the event in an understandable and atmospheric manner. The presentation connects to its own collection and to the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz. This makes the special exhibition feel not like a dry classroom, but like a carefully curated look into Earth's history with a clear target audience appeal for children and adults.

For Young Explorers and Inquisitive Visitors

Especially for children, the topic provides a strong entry point into natural science and Earth history. Stones become storytellers, fossils become witnesses of past habitats. Those who walk through the rooms with open eyes experience a calm, focused, and simultaneously fascinating exhibition with plenty of room for questions, discoveries, and conversations.
