Talking Stones in Koblenz: A Journey into the Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, the special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens a view into a world from around 400 million years ago. Fossils, slate formations, and large-format photographs make the prehistoric era of the Middle Rhine tangible and create a special event experience for families, nature enthusiasts, and curious explorers.
An Exhibition that Brings the Past to Life
The exhibition takes visitors into the Devon Sea, from which today's Middle Rhine slate mountains emerged. Visitors can see fossils of shells, corals, deep-sea fish, and other life forms. Thus, the museum combines vivid knowledge transfer with a strong event atmosphere and a clear targeting of children, school classes, and culturally interested guests.
Fossils, Slate, and Striking Images
The original finds and photographic representations of extraordinary slate formations from the Rhine Valley are particularly impressive. The exhibition opts for a calm, focused presentation that leaves room for discovery and conversation. Those interested in geology, paleontology, and the history of the Rhine will find a dense, informative exhibition format with real added value.
