Tourists coming to Phuket are offered A huge variety of attractions, in any subject they choose. Unlike other places in Thailand, in Phuket you can find entertainment options for everyone, therefore, older tourists, families, couples and even groups of young guys come to the island. The word museum is a word that is not necessarily associated with Thailand, but in Phuket like Phuket, the museums are special and different, chief among them - the Seashell Phuket Museum. The Museum of Shells and Shells displays a huge variety of items from the Thai sea, including fossils and items that are hundreds and thousands of years old.
The Museum of Shells and Shells is built like a large store, and it gives a slightly more relaxed feeling to visitors. The items are displayed in a prominent and beautiful way, and there is no feeling of crowding inside the museum. Among all the amazing items in the museum, you can find some rare and unusual elements, including gold-colored pearls and shells in spectacular colors, the likes of which cannot be found and seen elsewhere. Most of the elements are displayed in the museum for beauty only, but you can definitely buy some of the seashells and use them as decorative items, or even give them as gifts in the store next door.
In the first part of the museum, visitors go down to an underground, relatively gray floor, where the shells are displayed. You can approach the shells and follow the arrows on the floor so you don't get lost or go back to places you've already been. It is not a huge place, but one that is usually not busy, and you can spend a few hours there, if you decide to read all the information and get an in-depth impression of the items. All the items are presented in a very orderly and chronological way, and you can find a lot of information about them that appears on the signs on the wall. What is beautiful about this museum is the opportunity to gain knowledge, as the origin of all the items is very interesting, and there are fascinating stories behind the long journey they took until they arrived in the glass box in which they are now.
The museum can interest many people, but especially those who are into diving, sea research, marine biology, and adventures in general. There is quite a bit of complexity in displaying items correctly in a museum, but it seems that the members of the Museum of Shells and Shells know how to do this job in the best way, and tell a story in a correct and chronological way. The museum is updated frequently all the time, so next to very old items, you will also find relatively new items, with equally interesting stories behind them. The museum's collection does not only include Phuket's beaches, but the entire region, which helps create a more diverse and colorful experience for guests. This is a museum that is not defined as a "must visit" but definitely one that is worth the money and time, and can create a great experience for all visitors and of all ages.
The entrance fee to the museum is a total of 200 baht, so even as a family outing with children, you can pay around NIS 100 and enjoy at least half a day of different pleasure, and one that takes the routine of the stomach back, an activity typical of those who come to the island.
