Talking Stones – a journey back in time to the Devon Sea
The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea at the Rhein-Museum Koblenz opens a view into an ancient world that shaped today’s Rhine Valley around 400 million years ago. Fossils, rare finds, and large-format photographs make visible how vibrant the Devon was. The exhibition is part of the traditional Rhein-Museum, founded in 1912, which is among the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate. ([rhein-museum.de](https://www.rhein-museum.de/?utm_source=openai))
An exhibition that lets stones tell stories
Corals, shells, crinoids, arthropods, and armored fish are the focus of this special exhibition. The presentation combines paleontology, natural history, and regional research into a calm, vivid event experience that particularly appeals to families, school classes, and nature enthusiasts. At the same time, the exhibition commemorates 50 years of the Paleontological Working Group and shows how closely science and engagement can come together in Koblenz.

The Rhein-Museum as a strong place for discoveries
The Rhein-Museum in Ehrenbreitstein showcases life on the Rhine in many facets: shipping, Rhine romance, waterways, early humans, and significant collection items shape the tour. With around 1,600 square meters of exhibition space, a large entrance hall, and changing special exhibitions, the museum creates the ideal framework for an exhibition that imparts knowledge in a lively manner and encourages genuine discovery enthusiasm among the audience.
