The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum announced its new exhibition, titled “In Focus: Precision Photography of Extraordinary and Uncommon Shells,” will be on display May 29 through Nov. 28.
Science Director and Curator Dr. José H. Leal has been leading a project for the museum to build a publicly accessible photo archive of its shell collection. The exhibition photographs were taken for the Digital Imaging Project, which was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
“Along the way, through superb and highly technical photography, the project has revealed in new ways the incredible beauty and uniqueness of these mysteries of nature,” Executive Director Sam Ankerson said. “Visitors will now have the opportunity to experience this for themselves in person, in large format, adding a new dimension to our appreciation of shells.”
