Talking Stones – a Journey into Koblenz' Primal Devon Sea
At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Talking Stones – The Devon Sea opens up a fascinating view into a world that lay underwater 400 million years ago. The special exhibition connects fossil finds from the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz with photographs by Klaus Hammerl, making geology, natural history, and museum work directly accessible for children and families.

When Fossils Suddenly Tell Stories
The exhibition showcases new and partially unique finds from the Devon Sea, immersing visitors in a time when seawater still flowed through today's Rhine Valley. Shells, corals, starfish, and other fossilized remnants bring earth history to life and create a genuine event experience for curious young visitors.
