　　地球上，最深邃浩渺的地方是海洋。海洋中，最神秘奇妙的地方是海底。其中，海贝是最具吸引力的动物之一。它们种类繁多、形态各异、色泽艳丽、分布广泛，谜一般地生活着。

　　为了向社会公众普及海洋及贝类动物知识，丰富青少年学生的暑期生活，我馆特此推出“小贝壳 大世界——中外珍奇海贝展”。此次展出中外珍奇贝类标本二百余种，共四百余件。

　　希冀您能通过此次展览拓宽视野，增加对海洋科学探究学习的兴趣，提升藏贝赏贝的知识水平，增强保护海洋生态环境的意识，为促进海洋资源的可持续利用做出应有的努力。

　　——中外珍奇海贝展

　　On the earth, the deepest and vastest part is the ocean, among which the submarine world is the most mysterious. In this world, seashells are always viewed as great attractions. There are numerous species of seashells in different shapes and colors. They are widely distributed in nature and lead an enigmatic life.

　　In order to popularize the knowledge of the ocean and shells among the public and to enrich the summer life for the youth, we hereby present Small Shells and Big World: Chinese and Foreign Rare Seashells Exhibit. There are more than four hundred pieces of seashell specimen on display in this exhibition.

　　It is hoped that this exhibition will expand your horizon, stimulate your interest in the marine science and therefore equip you with the knowledge and ability to collect and appreciate the seashells. It is also our mission to enhance your awareness to protect the marine ecological environment, thus making joint efforts to promote the sustainable utilization of marine resources.
