You will also learn how men have used shells throughout the world over the course of centuries. Discover myths and legends around the world with one thing in common: the origin of life connected to the symbol of the shell. You will also learn about the shell theorem and better understand the mathematical origin behind these perfect spiral curves. Kids will also love the mini-laboratory that offers fun activities such as virtually creating your own shell, listening to the sound of the ocean from a conch or observing them under a magnifying glass.

We as clients to the Heritage Awali at which we had a very pleasant stay were extremely disappointed by the rudeness of the staff specially a woman named magdalena we are extremely disappointed as in fact mauritius is known for its hospitality please do not let these people ruin this we sincerely hope this does not repeat itself with any mauritians

Visited the museum during our stay at Heritage Awali and we were ill treaded by the staff of the museum. I guess just because we are Mauritian . The staff ruined our experience of wonderful stay.

Absolutely stunning. Never knew there were so many beautiful shells. Definitely a peaceful educational trip. Have absolute new respect of what is under the sea.

Very small museum that takes only 20-30 minutes if you do not linger too much, very pretty, has a magnificent collection of shells. The kids loved it!

We didn’t have great expectations when we went ( to be honest!) but the museum far exceeded those expectations. The shells are beautiful, are presented beautifully and the museum is properly curated - most of the collection dates from the 18th century and there are clear explanations in English and French of the historical role of shells. Magdalena, the lady at reception, was also very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

The museum was close to our hotel. We used that. We liked it very much, lots of beautiful shells and information about the environment. It was worth it for us

Absolute disgrace. The lady working there in the afternoon of sunday 4th Feb should be fired! Last entry was 3pm. We were there at 2:40pm knocking but theyd closed everything. When we looked inside a woman could see us knock but was hiding behind a banner so she didnt have to let us in. Perhaps so she could go home early? Extremely disappointing. If you go then go early, the woman there certainly will

Their collection of seashells is really amazing. The info provided was incredible. It's definitely worth seeing. I had no idea how many different seashells existed and how valuable they were to the eco system

Absolutely gorgeous collection of seashells so beautifully presented. As a lifelong shell hunter this was my heaven. Such an interesting and informative display. We just loved it and would recommend anyone visiting the area to go.

If you have a short attention span this venue could be challenging, several thousand shells beautifully characterised and presented, along with descriptions of there use by various cultures. Well worth a visit if you’re in the south of the island.
