Extreme variety of mussels - The museum was close to our hotel. We used that.
We liked it very much, lots of beautiful shells and information about the environment.
It was worth it for us

Amazing experience with shells - Their collection of seashells is really amazing. The info provided was incredible. It's definitely worth seeing. I had no idea how many different seashells existed and how valuable they were to the eco system

Stunning collection of shells - Absolutely gorgeous collection of seashells so beautifully presented. As a lifelong shell hunter this was my heaven. Such an interesting and informative display. We just loved it and would recommend anyone visiting the area to go.

So, how interesting can a shell be? - If you have a short attention span this venue could be challenging, several thousand shells beautifully characterised and presented, along with descriptions of there use by various cultures.
Well worth a visit if you’re in the south of the island.

Nice seashell collection - Lots of varieties of seashells from different countries. The tour takes around 20-30 mins but is very rich in information. If you love the sea you like this activity.

Woman was working there was hiding so she could go home early - Absolute disgrace. The lady working there in the afternoon of sunday 4th Feb should be fired!
Last entry was 3pm. We were there at 2:40pm knocking but theyd closed everything. When we looked inside a woman could see us knock but was hiding behind a banner so she didnt have to let us in. Perhaps so she could go home early?
Extremely disappointing. If you go then go early, the woman there certainly will
