The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum is the only museum in the U.S. devoted solely to shells and the living mollusks that create them, and one of the best things to do on Sanibel Island. Opened in 1995, its mission is to connect people to the natural world through their love of shells. Extensive exhibits, programs and expertise inspire learning, support scientific research, and tell the story of mollusks and their importance.

Fredian Slips was chosen to display two pieces: “Oyster Ballet” Mixed Media Mask and “Fish Angel” Raku Sculpture with Florida Penn Shells
