A time travel into the Devon Sea: Fossils, images, and 400 million years of earth history

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, an exhibition called Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens up, bringing natural history to life. Among fossils, slate, and photographs by Klaus Hammerl, a striking event experience is created that entices children, families, and curious explorers alike.

When stones tell stories

About 400 million years ago, a shallow Devon Sea covered the area of today’s Rhine Valley. The exhibition takes you right into this distant world: corals, mollusks, sea lilies, arthropods, and armored fish tell of a time when life on earth was fundamentally shaped. Looking at the exhibits creates a special event atmosphere that naturally connects wonder and knowledge.

An exhibition experience for small and large researchers

The exhibition is particularly strong in its target audience approach: children experience earth history not abstractly, but vividly and tangibly. Families discover together how rock, layers, and fossils create an image of the ancient sea. For school classes and inquiring visitors, the presentation offers a clear educational benefit, cleverly merging science and experience.

50 years of Paleontological Working Group as a common thread

The new edition of the special exhibition shown in 2009 also honors a special anniversary: 50 years of the Paleontological Working Group. This gives the project a strong authoritative dimension, as it builds on many years of research, collection experience, and museum educational work. The large-format photographs by Klaus Hammerl complement the objects and provide a calm, atmospheric depth to the theme.

Rhine Museum Koblenz as a fitting location

The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the older museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and showcases the cultural and natural history of the Rhine over 1,600 square meters. Here, the theme of the Devon Sea unfolds its full power: the location, the collection, and the special exhibition intertwine, making the visit a credible, content-rich excursion into the past.
