Talking Stones – a journey back in time to the Devon Sea in Koblenz

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a window into a world that shaped today's Rhine Valley around 400 million years ago. Fossils, new finds, and large-format photographs come together to create an exhibition experience that closely connects knowledge, wonder, and regional earth history.

When stones tell stories

The exhibition takes you right into the Devon Sea, which once lay where the Rhine now flows through the valley. Fossilized life, rare finds, and exhibits that vividly illustrate the development of the region are showcased here. Especially for families, school classes, and anyone interested in natural history and earth science, a lively access to a topic that often remains hidden is created.

A museum with a strong regional character

The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and has been a fixed place for cultural history on the Rhine since 1912. The special exhibition complements the permanent themes of the house with a natural historical perspective on the region's past. Thus, the visit is not only informative but also particularly coherent in the interplay of collection, research, and communication.

Atmosphere, context, and visitor experience

The exhibition is designed for a relaxed museum visit by the Rhine: calm, illustrative, and full of details that invite careful observation. The combination of fossils, imagery, and exhibition dramaturgy creates an atmosphere where families feel as comfortable as culture-interested guests. Those attending the event experience a compact, yet content-rich format with high educational value and much regional relevance.

Practical information for the visit

The museum is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, as well as Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, closed on Mondays.
