Very nice small museum packed with quite a lot of different shells from all over the world. Quite the impressive collection. I am no shell expert but you can see shells of all types, colors, shapes and sizes even really really bug ones. The lady at the entrance was very nice and happy to answer all questions.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Cavtat The Shell Museum in Cavtat is a small but incredibly charming and educational place, perfect for a quick yet enriching visit. Despite its modest size, the museum houses an impressive collection of shell specimens from all over the world’s oceans. It’s truly remarkable how many fascinating examples are displayed within such a compact space. A special thanks goes to the lovely lady who runs the museum – her warm welcome, engaging presentation, and willingness to answer every question made the experience even more enjoyable. Her passion and knowledge brought the exhibits to life and added a personal touch that made the visit memorable. Whether you’re exploring solo or with family, this museum offers a peaceful and informative stop. It’s conveniently located right in the center of Cavtat, just a few hundred meters from the main bus station and tourist information center. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn something new and appreciate the beauty of the sea in a cozy setting!

This was such an amazing museum that was such an unexpected surprise in our day. Learning about the different types of sea life and shells in the area as well as what is threatening them was eye opening. This is a must visit if you are in Cavtat or neighbouring areas.

A great find in Cavtat. Very interesting, some beautiful shells. Lovely owner of the museum she explained to us in English which was helpful about how she got into diving, which was really interesting. Thank you.

The Shell Museum was such a lovely and intriguing surprise on my trip. It's clear that a lot of love and dedication went into the creation of this family-run collection. It was wonderful to speak with the owner and learn more about the museum, the shells, and the purpose behind their endeavor. Such a kind and welcoming environment! A visit here is a must while you are in Cavtat.

An incredible Sea Shell Museum with shells hundreds of years old, even an Ammonite from the Jurassic Era, everything is in pristine condition aswell, absolutely must visit if you come by. It's hard to not be in awe when looking at the shells and how old they are. Increadible place, if you ever collected rocks or shells growing up, there's no way you can skip the this❤️ I promise you this one is worth it.

Great family run museum with a very friendly and knowledgeable owner. Despite it's small size we spent at least an hour in there - the shell detective game for the kids is a great idea, my daughter loved it and really got her invested in the different types of shells on display. Would highly recommend a visit.

It’s a really lovely experience. I learned quite a bit and Roko was such a great host telling me about the shells and the history of the place and the church as well as the paintings…. I didn’t know what to expect on my way here but I am glad I made it.
