Glossus Humanus, Shell Museum Cavtat
About
The World of Mollusca We are honoured to present you our collection of sea shells, Glossus Humanus. We are a family of divers, travelers and great admirers of the sea. Our collection started as decoration for nursery room and now counts over 3500 different species from all oceans of the world. As our collection increased over years and as the biodiversity decreases daily we felt obliged to offer our treasure to public and spread admiration we have for marine life and its preservation. In just one year we have become a top attraction in Cavtat, a simple must see, especialy for families with kids. Our museum is funded only by our own achivements so we can't thank you enough for your support in our quest to be the best advocates of the sea.

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 πŸ‘

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.
