Incredible (a) that an exclusive seashells museum should exist so far away from sea, and (b) there should be over 3,000 different species of them. It is a riot of colours with all possible shapes and sizes. The smallest one has to be seen through a magnifying glass while the largest one-Giant Clam- is 1.5 metres long and weighs 150... More

Its an amazing collection of sea shells..starting from 5g to 150kg!!! So many types of sea-shells. Its very difficult to imagine how much hard work would have been put in to collect such a huge collection over a period of time. It is also very important to understand that preserving these sea shells also takes lot of efforts. Must visit... More

A lovely seashell museum in the middle of the desert. The collection is not large, but the seashells are from all over and are clearly carefully chosen and presented.

An amazing collection of about 3000 different types of seashells scientifically classified and displayed. Shell craft items at its best. Unimaginable in the heart of desert. Very soon Jaipur will not only be known for its forts and palaces but also for it "seashells".

A seashell museum so far removed from the nearest seashore, it has to be seen to be believed. A veritable collection of all types of shells- common, uncommon and rare (near-extinct). The display scheme is also wonderful and very aesthetic. To the scientifically minded what would appeal most is that all the shells have been arranged superfamily and family-wise and... More
