Small, cozy, modern. I loved it. Tickets: 275 Rs adult foreign, 125 Rs child foreign, 175 Rs adult resident. Thou museum is tiny, but if you will read all the notes, look on every seashell it will take time. Meanwhile playing marvelous music which creates fantastic atmosphere. You can feel people put a lot of effort into collecting and organizing it into a museum. And very nice souvenirs shop with a lot of handmade products, you will not find cheap Chinese souvenirs there. I love it! I would add there small coffee shop with snacks as place is quite hidden, not many tourists, we were the only ones. Would love to spend more time. There are seashells, you put it to your ear and can hear the ocean. There is also old factory big machines near buy. Unfortunately you can t come close, touch it(maybe cos of safety), but would love to do so and also more information on the place. It could be nice...

The collection of sea shells is incredible and engaging as you move from one of the display cases to the next. Real consideration and skill has gone into communicating the amazing narratives around place, the natural world and human impact. There is something for museum people and curious bystanders alike with the colours and forms shown off to their best. 8000 different shells have to be seen to be believed! Really inspiring place to visit and the curators are enthusiastic and excited to talk...
