Talking Stones at the Rhine Museum: A Journey into the Devon Sea
On September 9, 2026, a special time travel opens for families, school classes, and the curious at the Rhine Museum Koblenz: The special exhibition Talking Stones - The Devon Sea takes you deep into a world from about 400 million years ago. Fossils, petrifications, and large-format photographs illustrate how vivid Earth’s history can be experienced in the museum.
Fascinating Fossils and a Sea that Shaped Koblenz
The exhibition connects paleontological finds with vivid imagery. Shells, corals, sea lilies, armored fish, and other creatures from the Devon tell of an ancient sea from which the Middle Rhine region developed. This is the charm of this event: It combines knowledge transfer with a strong audience atmosphere and a genuine Aha moment for both children and adults.
A Museum that Brings the Stories of the Rhine to Life
The Rhine Museum Koblenz is one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate and showcases the many facets of life along the Rhine over approximately 1,600 square meters.
