Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey Back to the Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, a fascinating exhibition titled Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens up a world that existed about 400 million years ago. Fossils, rocks, and large-format photographs come together to create an impressive event experience for families, school classes, and anyone who wants to marvel at natural history.
An Exhibition that Brings Earth History to Life
The look back into the Devon Sea takes us right into a time when a shallow sea spread across the area of today's Rhine Valley. The special exhibition showcases new and partly unique fossil finds and supplements them with the images of Klaus Hammerl. This creates an intense atmosphere that combines science and visual storytelling.
For Young Explorers and Curious Minds
Especially for children, the exhibition offers an exciting access to paleontological topics. Fossilized shells, corals, deep-sea fish, and other living beings are not explained abstractly but are vividly presented. This makes a visit to the museum a lively educational journey with a high appeal to the target audience and a lot of experiential value.
The Rhine Museum as the Perfect Setting
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and is located in Ehrenbreitstein, beneath the fortress. With its cultural and historical orientation, its large collections, and the changing special exhibitions, it creates an ideal setting for this topic. The exhibition seamlessly fits into the strong museum tradition on site.
Practical Plans for Your Visit
The regular museum admission fee is 7 euros for adults, 3 euros for students and pupils, and 15 euros for families, according to visitor information. The museum is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays. Currently, cash payment is required for the visit.
