We stumbled upon this place by chance on our way to the airport. It's a lovely little museum and the owner is very passionate and knowledgeable. Entry is €7 per person.

Just happened to stumble across this place when in the area with my partner. Was absolutely amazed, super interesting & well worth the visit. The lady who owns/works at the museum Ines has incredible knowledge on every shell and piece of art exhibited and is more than happy to share any information she can give you. Couldn't have asked for a better guide!

A must do in Cavtat for sure. Over 3000 shells and so much to learn! The museum is run by a kind family who has been collecting these shells over 20 years. The dedication, love and energy put into this venture is nothing short of surreal. The variety, knowledge and kindness of the owners is heartwarming. If you have a few bucks to spare, do explore their handmade jewellery section

After taking a boat trip from Dubrovnik I had a couple of hours exploring the lovely little town of Cavtat. I came across this fascinating little museum and after 'shell'ing out a measly €7 I had a look around. Rows and rows of glass cabinets contained thousands of shells of different shapes, sizes and colours, all with descriptions of where in the world they were found. You might only spend half an hour or so looking round but it will be half an hour very well spent. Delightful museum 👍

An amazing collection of incredible shells from all over the world. Designs beyond your imagination and some so intricate and delicate it's difficult grasp how they were created. Well worth a visit and small charge to support the families work.

A unique collection of shells, expertly laid out and kept to a high standard it seemed. €7 to enter per person, it's a nice little way to break up the day 🐚

My friends and we fortunate enough to discover this place and meet the owner of the museum who generously shared her hard work, passion and story with us. It was the highlight of our day. Beautiful because of the shells and the sentiment behind them.

The museum belongs to a family of shell collectors. They were very nice, upon entering they will tell you how the museum was created. It's obvious that they do it out of love. It's a wonderful collection. You will spend about an hour there and it is definitely worth it!

Went to visit as we were staying in Cavat, walked up the steps to the cutest little doorway and inside was the loviest lady who was very passionate and knowledgeable about her collection. Lovely activities for the children to do. My daughter loved exploring the shells, colouring and learning about how to look after the seas and the shells. My daughter loved it and even got a lovely little shell from the women who is running it. Lovely jewellery bits to buy that are handmade. Fabulous visit if your nearby. 100% recommend x

We had the best time at this museum! The family who run is are so lovely and knowledgable, and as someone who knows nothing about shells is was really great to learn. It is set out really beautifully and we got some stunning jewellery to remember the trip. Thanks so so much !!
