Permanent exhibition “Shells and the Sea”

Municipality of Poros

Visits to the exhibition and the Hatzopouleios Municipal Library are by arrangement with the Municipality of Poros (Mayor's office, tel. +30 22983 20512).

The permanent exhibition “Shells and the Sea” is housed in the ground-floor gallery of the Hatzopouleios Municipal Library. The exhibition was curated by the University of Athens Department of Geology and Paleontology on behalf of the Municipality of Poros. The exhibits are the generous donation of Giorgos and Helga Kanellakis from their personal collection. It has been enriched with some geological, volcanic, and archaeological finds from the southern Aegean provided by the University of Athens. The finds are complemented by photographic material, mostly images of the surrounding seabed. “Shells and the Sea” is the only comprehensive museum exhibition of its kind displayed in Greece to date.
