Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea

At the Rhine Museum Koblenz, Talking Stones – The Devon Sea offers an impressive glimpse into a world around 400 million years ago. The special exhibition combines fossils, petrifications, and large-format photographs into an educational event experience for families, the curious, and little explorers.

A Museum Experience Between Stone, Sea, and Historical Time

The exhibition takes visitors straight into the Devon Sea, where the Middle Rhine slate mountains once formed. Fossils of shells, corals, deep-sea fish, and other creatures vividly illustrate how alive the Earth's history remains in the rocks around Koblenz. This creates an atmosphere that elegantly connects knowledge and wonder.
