Inspired by the golden ratio seen on seashells' shapes, the 500-specimen exhibit is designed as a shell that envelopes its visitors. As you walk along the curved walls, they gently descend into the floor, mirroring the way shells blend with the sand. The minimalist elegance of beige and white creates a serene backdrop, accentuating the seashells' inherent elegance and inviting visitors to explore their beauty. The organic circulation guides you until the centered origin, a discovery point for the most exceptional seashells, surrounded by the ocean's sound played through the audio system.
