Takeshima Fantasy Museum, Shell-themed museum in Gamagōri, Japan
The Takeshima Fantasy Museum showcases 55 million shells from 110 global locations, arranged in artistic displays with LED lighting and sound effects throughout its halls.
Since its establishment in 1983, the museum has maintained its collection of marine specimens while integrating modern lighting technologies to enhance visitor experiences.
The museum integrates Japanese storytelling through animated characters Misell and Gamago, who guide visitors through an underwater narrative within shell-decorated environments.
