The Heterobranch Corner Project
Unisalento Marine Biology Museum “Pietro Parenzan”
Porto Cesareo (LE)
The main objective of the Heterobranch corner project at the UniSalento Marine Biology Museum “Pietro Parenzan” in Porto Cesareo (LE) is to provide everyone with the chance to discover the Mediterranean heterobranch diversity, a group of specialized gastropod molluscs, to foster knowledge and inspire a heightened sense of appreciation and concern for their protection and conservation.
We merge the traditional exhibition method (the exhibition panel) with the use of soft toys to increase the attractiveness of the scientific and informative proposal, especially towards a younger audience. Multimedia contents can be accessed via QR codes placed in the different sections, in order to foster a user-friendly and accessible experience and an in-depth comprehension of scientific concepts.
The corner consists of 2 panels, inside which there are photographs dedicated to nudibranchs, sacoglossans, anaspids and cephalaspids, chosen as representatives of the extreme variability of shapes and colors present within the subclass of heterobranchs. There are also insights into their life cycle, defense strategies and how to find and describe a new species; each section features QR codes that link to videos and multimedia storytelling created specifically for the purpose. A plexiglass cube houses the soft toys of two nudibranchs, each about 40 cm large.
