1 octopus in 2 bars" exhibition
The exhibition "1 Octopus in 2 Bars" delves into the lives of octopuses, intelligent and enigmatic creatures whose behavior and problem-solving abilities have confronted us with complex and surprising questions.
Held on two stages - at the King Carlos Museum of the Sea and the Pedra do Sal Environmental Interpretation Centre - the exhibition presents a perspective on the origin, evolution and behavior of octopuses, but also on their cultural and socio-economic importance, promoting a better understanding of and respect for the natural world.
By being aware of the vulnerability of ecosystems, which sustain the survival of octopuses and the countless other species with which we share this planet, we understand the importance of preserving them.
