Special Exhibition: "Uni Collection!? – The Wonders of Echinoderms"

企画展「ウニコレ!?　～棘皮動物はふしぎ～」

What comes to mind when you think of sea urchins? Sushi toppings? Painful spines when you get pricked?
Sea urchins, along with their relatives like starfish and sea cucumbers, are familiar creatures found in tidal pools, boasting unique features such as fivefold radial symmetry and a water vascular system. In addition, sea urchin shells come in various shapes and colors. They are collected not only for display but also used as craft materials for items like lamps. Discover the many charms of sea urchins beyond just eating them—visit the Education Science Museum for your own collection. Let's Uni-collect!
