A Journey through Time in the Devon Sea in the Heart of Koblenz
The special exhibition Talking Stones – The Devon Sea at the Rhein-Museum Koblenz takes visitors on a journey to a world that existed around 400 million years ago. Fossils, new and partly unique finds, as well as impressive photographs make visible how vibrant life was in the Devon – and how closely Koblenz is connected to its geological history.
Fossils, Slate, and a Glimpse into Prehistory
As visitors walk through the exhibition, they experience a special interplay of science, atmosphere, and curiosity. Corals, mollusks, crinoids, arthropods, and armored fish tell the story of a sea that once covered today’s Rhine Valley. The exhibition experience is enhanced by photos from Klaus Hammerl that showcase Devonian slate in the Middle Rhine Valley in impressive motifs.
An Anniversary with Regional Depth
The exhibition also commemorates 50 years of the Paleontological Working Group Koblenz. It combines expertise, regional research, and museum presentation into a clear, well-curated offering for families, school classes, and anyone interested in natural history, geology, and substantive exhibitions. The Rhein-Museum Koblenz demonstrates how careful event planning and illustrative knowledge transfer go hand in hand.
