A Journey into the Devon Sea in the Heart of Koblenz
At the Rhineland Museum Koblenz, history becomes tangible: The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea takes visitors into a world from around 400 million years ago. Fossils, photographs, and geological traces tell of a sea that once lay where today the Rhine Valley runs.
Fascinating Insights into Prehistory
The exhibition displays new and partly unique fossil finds as well as photographs by Klaus Hammerl. The focus is on the Devon Sea, whose deposits are still visible today in the Rhenish Slate Mountains. For those interested in natural history, paleontology, and the development of life, this offers a unique event experience with strong educational value.
