The Seafaring and Shells Museum, 'E'Scaion', was established in 1999 by a group of citizens for the recovery of the history and traditions of the maritime culture. 'E'Scaion' takes its name from the iron tool for fishing clams and the museum stores documents, artefacts and small fishing equipment.
To the fishing objects are added wooden constructions that represent the monuments and historical buildings of Rimini, and objects created with grass 'pagnastrella', a herbaceous plant typical of the Mediterranean area.
On display there is also the Capici Collection, the most important collection of shells in the Mediterranean and a sector is dedicated to the fossils donated by Ivilia Rosa from Turin.
During the festivities there is a photographic exhibition of the Rimini sea, by proud Rimini divers.
