The largest collection of snail-related items consists of 1,377 items and was achieved by Prof. Henryk Skarzynski, M.D., Ph.D. (Poland), in Kajetany, Poland, on 15 July 2012. Prof. Henryk Skarzynski has collected snail-related items since 1992. He is a Polish doctor, otolaryngologist, audiologist and phoniatrist, creator and director of Warsaw Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing and International Centre of Hearing and Speech in Kajetany.
