Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, science meets atmosphere: The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea takes visitors back to a world that existed about 400 million years ago at today's Middle Rhine. Fossils, historical classifications, and large-format photographs by Klaus Hammerl bring the ancient marine realm to life.

Fossils, slate, and the trace of a distant geological age
The exhibition showcases fossils from the Devon Sea and tells the story of how marine deposits became the Rhenish Slate Mountains. Corals, shells, crinoids, arthropods, and armored fish provide an impressive exhibition experience that sparks curiosity and sharpens the perspective on geological time periods.

A museum with substance and history
The Rhine Museum Koblenz was founded in 1912, is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate, and sees itself as a cultural-historical house around life on the Rhine. The special exhibition fits into this strong museum tradition and complements the permanent themes of navigation, Rhine romanticism, and natural history with a particularly sensory perspective.
