Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum Koblenz: A Journey into the Devon Sea
The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea takes visitors in the Rhine Museum Koblenz on an impressive time travel to a world that existed around 400 million years ago. Fossils, geology, and photography combine here to create an exhibition experience that uniquely brings together knowledge, wonder, and atmosphere.
When the Rhine Looks Back at the Sea
Where today lies the Rhine Valley, there was once a shallow sea full of life, deposits, and ancient traces. The exhibition tells this story with new and partly unique fossil finds that make the life of early earth history tangible. Complemented by photographs by Klaus Hammerl, an exciting view of slate, stone, and landscape as an archive of time emerges.
A Museum That Makes History Come Alive
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the traditional houses in Rhineland-Palatinate and repeatedly presents new perspectives on the Rhine and its environment through its special exhibitions. The presentation in Ehrenbreitstein fits into the cultural-historical profile of the house and appeals to families, school classes, geology enthusiasts, and museum fans alike. Especially for younger visitors, a vivid access to nature, research, and regional earth history opens up here.
Atmosphere, Context, and Visitor Experience
The exhibition is particularly attractive as a bad weather option and is suitable for a quiet, focused museum visit. Anyone interested in fossilization, marine deposits, and the development of the landscape around Koblenz will find an informative and atmospheric presentation here. The exhibition experience thrives on the combination of scientific precision, visual power, and regional reference.
