    Philadelphia’s best-kept secret takes place each year at the Academy of Natural Sciences. The Philadelphia Shell Show features thousands of the world’s most beautiful and exotic shells on display and for sale. Guests at the Preview Party will be the first to see the show itself, browse the International Shell Market and have the opportunity to purchase from among thousands of shells, shell themed décor items and other marvels. Specially invited artisans will display and sell shell-themed jewelry and objects inspired by the sea, including breathtaking Sailor’s Valentines. In addition, there will be a silent auction of unique items. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Department of Malacology at the Academy, home to the world’s fourth largest shell collection. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres by Callahan Catering.
