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 !!

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!

Great and rather new museum in Cavtat. Owner is present during the visit and as they collected shells by themselves, they can give a good explanation and detail. I liked that they are still looking for improvements as 2023 was their second season. It is great if people turn their passion into something that helps the community and adds remarkable spot in the city.

An amazing place to visit. Completely family run museum which features shells and molluscs from generations collected from all over the world. The owner is so knowledgeable and passionate about the ocean and its preservation, it was a really inspiring visit. They also have lovely hand made shell jewellery and other pieces which are absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!

Stepping into the shell museum is like entering a beautiful oasis of calm. The museum has an incredible collection of shells, fossils and artwork gathered from oceans all over the world. The owner was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Glossus Humanus is truly a must-see in Cavtat!

Must see! A beautiful collection, many exceptional specimens, and incredible exhibition space, where you can hide from the heat. The owner is very kind and willing to explain details related to the collection.

Very cute museum run by a family of shell collectors. Must see if you are a fan of natural beauty (which is why you're in Cavtat, I assume)

A special highlight in Cavtat. If you love sea life, this is your place!! Ines shares her family’s 2,500+ pieces collection from all over the world with joy and passion. Really enjoyed and sighed my way through all the gems on display 💓. Thank you for the guided visit and insights, Ines!

The lovely woman at the desk is so into her collection. She knows the subjects. She gives you the information you need if you want too. The private collection is impressive and beautiful. I hope they can stay longer and have a proper place to display the shells and mollusks. I personally think the bottom shelves are too low to have a proper look at it. Unless you have no back pain.

Highly recommend a visit here 🌊🐠🐚 A beautifully displayed collection! We were a large group and everyone was entertained and inspired seeing so many beautiful shells, fun for all ages! It was especially enjoyable to hear more detail about the specific shells, the owners are clearly very passionate and knowledgeable. It is lovely that they are a family collection.
