Talking Stones – The Devon Sea: A Journey Through Time in Koblenz that Touches the Soul

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a fascinating exhibition about a world that existed around 400 million years ago. Fossils, slate formations, and large-format photographs by Klaus Hammerl bring the Devon Sea to life as an impressive event experience.

When Koblenz Was the Ocean Floor

The special exhibition takes you right into an era when a shallow sea lay where the Rhine Valley runs today. Fossilized shells, corals, sea lilies, armored fish, and plant remains tell of an ancient natural history and create a unique event atmosphere between science and wonder.

50 Years of the Paleontological Working Group in the Museum

The exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Paleontological Working Group builds upon an earlier presentation from 2009 and showcases new as well as partly unique fossil finds. The curated special exhibition is complemented by the photographic signature of Klaus Hammerl, making slates, quarries, and dried-up riverbeds appear like a visual archive of past periods.
