The “Hard Core – Soft Shell” is a fictional exhibition with the Natural History Museum Basel. At first glance, shells and snails seem inconspicuous, but they offer a world full of surprises. The exhibition invites visitors to experience this hidden world in a new, immersive way. Through a harmonious combination of design, light and sound, the life cycle of these animals is brought to life and made tangible. The focus is on the life cycle, from birth to life to death.
