Mollusks: Shelled Masters of the Marine Realm

This special exhibit explores the amazing diversity and history of mollusks—snails, clams, squid and other invertebrates that comprise almost a quarter of all known marine species. There are more different species of mollusks than there are vertebrates. Scientists estimate the number between 2 million and 100 million.

The exhibit features the research of Professor Gonzalo Giribet, colleagues and students at Harvard University, and the Dept. of Malacology at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, this new exhibition engages the general public in mollusk evolution, ecology, and the many ways in which their lives intersect with ours.
