A Journey into the Depths of Time at the Rhein-Museum Koblenz
With Talking Stones – The Devon Sea, the Rhein-Museum Koblenz opens a fascinating window into a world 400 million years ago. The special exhibition combines paleontology, regional geological history, and impressive photographs into an event experience that appeals to families, school classes, and curious museum visitors alike.
Fossils, Shale, and a Sea Long Gone
Where today the Rhine Valley runs, there once lay a shallow Devon Sea. It is precisely this dimension that makes the exhibition appealing: fossilized remains, marine deposits, and the history of the Rhenish Slate Mountains are presented in an understandable and vivid manner. The presentation focuses on a clear target audience and makes complex geological connections easily graspable for younger visitors.
A Museum Visit with Strong Regional Relevance
The Rhein-Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and showcases the life world along the Rhine in many facets as a cultural-historical museum. The special exhibition fits into this profile and expands the regular museum experience by adding an additional layer: natural history, research, and regional identity merge into an exciting special exhibition with high educational value.
What Visitors Can Specifically Expect
Visitors will see new and partly unique fossil finds as well as photographs by Klaus Hammerl. The entire experience is complemented by the atmosphere of a traditional museum in Ehrenbreitstein, known for its large objects, models, and historical exhibits, which already provide for an intensive tour. Those interested in geology, earth history, and family outings in any weather will find here a suitable destination with substance.
