Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey Through Time to the Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a fascinating glimpse into a world that shaped today’s Rhine Valley around 400 million years ago. The special exhibition combines fossils, geological traces, and impressive photographs to create a vibrant event experience for families, school classes, and anyone who wants to experience natural history up close.
When Stones Tell Stories
The exhibition focuses on the Devon Sea and makes it visible how a unique archive of Earth’s history has formed from marine deposits, slate, and fossilized life forms. Visitors will encounter new and sometimes unique fossil finds that draw attention to corals, shells, sea lilies, and armored fish. This creates a vivid access to geology, museum education, and natural history, especially for young guests.
50 Years of Research, Collected in a Strong Show
The presentation is backed by the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz, which celebrates its 50th anniversary with this exhibition. The combination of scientific work and visual storytelling gives the exhibition a special authority. The exhibits are complemented by photographs by Klaus Hammerl, whose perspective makes slate and rock appear as silent witnesses of unimaginably long periods.
An Ideal Outing in Any Weather
The Rhine Museum is particularly attractive as an indoor exhibition venue on bad weather days. The presentation is aimed at a wide audience and fits excellently for a relaxed day trip to Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein thanks to its family-friendly design.
