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.

Были в этом музее всей семьёй и нам очень понравилась коллекция раковин со всего света. Вход стоил достаточно дорого, учитывая, что экспозиция занимает 10 минут. Но красота ракушек того стоит.

Petit musée intéressant avec une belle collection de coquillages. La visite se fait vite, 1h grand maximum car le musée est tout petit. Mais il est plutôt moderne, propre et bien organisé. On l’a visité un jour férié (2 janvier) c’était ouvert. À faire éventuellement si vous passez dans le coin (mais ne faites pas 1h de route spécialement pour ça).

Was declined entrance because of the rain which made no sense as the museum is inside, not outside :D
