Talking Stones at the Rhein Museum Koblenz: a journey back in time to the Devon Sea

At the Rhein Museum Koblenz, geology becomes an experience: The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea takes visitors deep into a world from around 400 million years ago. Fossils, petrifications, and large-format photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into life in the Devon Sea and the rock layers of the Rhineland slate mountains.

Fossils, Slate, and a Trace of Prehistory

The exhibition showcases new and sometimes unique fossil finds that tell stories of corals, shells, deep-sea fish, and other creatures from a long-gone geological era. This is complemented by the photographic works of Klaus Hammerl, whose view of slate, quarries, and riverbeds makes the silent power of this landscape visible.
