Never heard of shells?
Beginning researcher wanting to learn more about the Linnaean collection or mollusks in general?
or interested in how people have used shells – dating back thousands of years?
This fantastic video (Linnean Lens | Treasures of the Linnean Shells Collection) by the Linnean Society – starring Jonathan Ablett from London’s Natural History Museum – is 45 minutes long but definitely worth watching – even if you know nothing about shells and their animals!
In plain language, Jonathan guides us – with Linnaeus’s own shells in hand – through the world of “Mollusca” – shells, that is.
For those who want to better understand “Linnaean material” – definitely a must-see!
This video – and another beautiful one about the life of octopuses – have since been added to our links page.
Enjoy!
