This exhibition and important exhibition was born about thirty years ago from a project on the protection and enhancement of marine resources. It has been exhibited with renewed success in over 200 Italian and foreign locations, over the years it has continued to be enriched with important cognitive and exhibition elements. The most evocative part is characterized by dozens of life-size reconstructions of sharks, dolphins, sea turtles and extinct and non-extinct deep-sea fish. It is an exhibition that has been judged to be of very high scientific value and extremely interactive with the varied public of both school children, but also families and tourists. Many curiosities can attract its visitors, there are also numerous zoological-anatomical finds and much more. There is easy-to-read multilingual explanatory signage. It is obvious that depending on the available space, selective choices will have to be made on the material to be exhibited. There are exhibits that can be touched and that create an interactive relationship with the public, and the larger ones can be fixed with steel cables to the ceiling and therefore have a very suggestive view from the bottom upwards. Others still have a functional anchoring device to the walls and adjustable in height.
