The special exhibition combines paleontology, regional history, and impressive photography for a calm yet intense event experience for families, the curious, and anyone eager to discover natural history live.

This creates an accessible exhibition experience for families and young visitors with educational value.

A Visit with Added Value

Complemented by photographs from Klaus Hammerl, it offers a lively look at stones that truly speak: about time, change, and the power of natural processes. The result is a calm yet impressive exhibition with high relevance for all who wish to connect regional culture and natural science.
