The Box Collection

The Box Collection

ProMare has recently launched an exciting new 3D scanning project at The Box Museum in Plymouth. We are currently scanning shells from the Marine Biological Association (MBA) collection, with the next phase of the project focusing on Nancy Astor’s significant shell collection. Astor, the first female Member of Parliament, left behind an impressive legacy that this project seeks to further preserve and highlight.
