Fascinating Fossil Journey at the Rhine Museum Koblenz
With Talking Stones – The Devon Sea, the Rhine Museum Koblenz opens a window into a time when today's Rhine Valley was still covered by the Devon Sea. The special exhibition showcases fossils, large-format photographs, and traces of a long-lost world of life – right in Ehrenbreitstein, below the fortress. The Rhine Museum was founded in 1912, is located at Charlottenstraße 53a, and is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate. ([rhein-museum.de](https://www.rhein-museum.de/?utm_source=openai))
A Museum Experience Between Science and Wonder
The exhibition combines paleontological insights with vivid presentation. Corals, shells, sea lilies, arthropods, and armored fish bring the marine world of the time to life. For families, a special event experience is created that sparks curiosity and makes knowledge playfully tangible. The exhibition runs as part of the special exhibitions of the Rhine Museum and complements the cultural-historical collections of the house.
