A workshop curated by the team of Accademia dei bambini.
Tiny, large, smooth, pointed, iridescent, opaque, striped or spotted shells: we are fascinated by their perfect and inimitable shapes, but do we know how they are born?
The mollusc growing inside them is the most important part: it filters water and provides calcite and calcium carbonate to allow the shell itself to grow.
During the workshop, their stories and secrets are revealed; children learn to observe them and discover the life of these soft and strange animals, but essential for the balance of the marine ecosystem.
