Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a door to an ancient world for children, families, and curious explorers. Fossils, rock layers, and photographs by Klaus Hammerl tell the story of a time when a shallow sea was located where the Rhine flows today.

An Exhibition Between Science and Wonder

The new edition of the exhibition builds on a previous exhibition by the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz and presents new and partially unique fossil finds. The content combines vivid natural history with a strong experiential factor: Visitors walking through the rooms experience the museum not only as a place of knowledge but as a time travel through millions of years.

Fossils, Slate, and the Trace of Earth's History

A particularly impressive view is on the deposits of the Devon Sea. Slate, fossils, and artifacts from the Rhenish Slate Mountains make the Earth's history tangible. The photographs by Klaus Hammerl additionally showcase this world and give the exhibition a quiet, almost poetic visual language.

Family-Friendly and Easy to Plan

The special exhibition is ideal for a trip with children or for a relaxing museum visit on the weekend. The Rhine Museum is largely accessible, has a visitor parking lot behind the building, and is located in Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein in an easily reachable location. The combination of bad weather activities, educational content, and family-friendly museum experience makes the event attractive for different target groups.

Why the Visit is Worthwhile

For those who want to see and feel history, rather than just reading about it, this is a special event experience. Talking Stones – The Devon Sea connects regional earth history, vibrant communication, and a calm, focused exhibition atmosphere. An event for everyone who wants to experience Koblenz from its informative side.

Conclusion

This exhibition makes millions of years of earth history immediately experienceable and creates a strong experience for families, school classes, and museum lovers. Anyone passionate about fossils, natural history, and the history of the Rhine should experience the Devon Sea live at the Rhine Museum.
