Did you know that freshwater mussels are among the most endangered animals in the world? Often invisible to us, these bivalves are essential for the health of our rivers and lakes. In Portugal, there are six native species, and all of them are at risk of extinction.

Come discover the hidden world of these natural “purifiers” in our new exhibition at the CMIA Vila do Conde!

We look forward to your visit!
