Shell Museum Lecture: Curator’s Choice

Science Director and Curator Dr. José H. Leal presents a selection of exceptional images from the new exhibition In Focus: Precision Photography of Extraordinary and Uncommon Shells which will be on view at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum from May 29 through November 28.

Dr. Leal will discuss his choices of images, the different groups of species represented and their unique qualities, and special photographic techniques adopted to ensure a high level of richness and detail. He will also discuss the Digital Imaging Project, for which the photographs have been made, and its global scope and impact for scholars, scientists, and enthusiasts of shells and mollusks.

The Celebrating 25 Years lecture series is free, but registration is required at ShellMuseum.org.
