Gallery dedicated to shells offering video, screens, panels and interactive experiences through a well thought out scenography

The work of a passionate conchyophile, this is the largest gallery in Africa dedicated to shellfish, with 8,000 specimens of over 1,500 species and 80 families. It's an opportunity to marvel at what nature can shape, model and chisel, and to discover the secrets of shells: their way of life, their defense system, the mystery of their shapes and colors, the legends linked to the symbol of the shell.... Video, panels, QR codes and interactive experiences invite you to take part, in a well-thought-out scenography that enlivens the visit. Store.

Nice wee museum with lots of information about seashells, museum is clean and modern. We were only there for 30-45mins but was a nice way to break up the day.

Really enjoyed our visit here. A lot of the history of shells and interesting facts about them. And a very large collection of shells I had no idea existed. Was very interesting to read about some of the facts and shell associations to different cultures/religions all over the world. Left the place with a new insight for shells which came as a surprise to me. I recommend the visit. There is also a gift shop but is expensive.

SubhanAllah. The shells look beautiful in a box, how much more if they were in the water, live and crawling

Joli musée !! Les coquillages sont magnifiques. Il y en aurait 8000, ce qui en soit est déjà un exploit.
Il y a aussi un gift shop avec de joli petits souvenirs à acheter pour soi ou offrir.
