Nice hour to spare in cavtat - Stunning collection of shells and all things sea life. From fossils to clams. Wasn’t expecting much and thought the whole experience was really wholesome. Family run collection which is now on display in an old church gallery. Which still has the original paintings on display as well as the shell collection. Lady (forgot her name) was really welcoming and loves what she does which made our visit more authentic.

A hidden gem well worth a visit! - The remarkable shell museum was created as a labour of love by a family of divers to educate people on the fragility of the natural world. They have built up an extensive collection of beautiful shells from all over the world on their travels. These rare and precious shells which opened my mind to the sheer variety of shells, in rich colours, shapes and textures. A hidden gem well worth a visit.

A gem for Cavtat - Such an apt museum for its location, fitting in well within the beautiful and charming town of Cavtat. Unique and quaint, with a wealth of shells, facts and some art work is also on display. This collection is housed in a lovely building and is exhibited wonderfully. There is a factual video, self guided tour and some lovely souvenirs. The lovely lady that runs this is both welcoming and knowledgable. Showing passion for what she does. Knowing this museum was within the town was our deciding factor to holiday here and it didn’t disappoint. Visit early in your stay to discover any additional events they may be holding during the week. Thank you for a unique experience which made my daughters day : )

Very impressed and would recommend - Beautiful museum. Family run. Exhibits are stunning and the owners are very knowledgeable. We also bought some gorgeous souvenirs.

A MUST in Cavtat - The whole experience was simply amazing. The owner is very informative and one of the main collectors, fantastic family history and memories made and shared through a passion for shells and the natural world - something that we should all experience and a definite MUST in Cavtat. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We will be back

Great value, under 18s free - Do not miss a trip to this special museum when you are in Cavtat. It's very centrally located to the old town. You can see the passion everywhere in the exhibitions and in the items left out for kids. The proprietor oozed passion also, it's always such a massive pleasure to be in it's presence! The proprititar also shows documentaries on Wednesday nights in the lovely room which looks like it was an old theatre perhaps.

Highly recommended - This was a very pleasant experience. A very nice and knowledgeable owner, and a great collection of shells. The children got small nice gifts. Highly recommended!

A unique experience - A truly unique museum curated by one family with a passion for showcasing the beauty of the sea and protecting the biodiversity. A great way to spend 30 mins - 1 hour, the shells were beautiful and fascinating and you could ask as many questions as you liked. The curator was eager to answer them and tell you the stories of the shells. A very peaceful spot within Cavtat!

An amazing and unique collection - Only been open for just over a year and full of shells and corals from all over the world, sourced by the owners own diving experience as well as purchasing from other collections. All the corals and shells (thousands) are individually listed and named. You are also given a ticket from which you can scan your own audio guide onto your mobile phone. There has been a lot of work put into it and no doubt the collection will continue to expand. Yasmin and I wish them all the best in their endevours.

Shell museum - This is a family that started diving and collecting shells and fossils from all over the world, there is a fossil that is 166 million years old ! Very interesting and some very strange and wonderful shells and fossils, the lady told us everything we wanted to know and how it all started, well worth a visit.
