Unique in Mauritius, World of Seashells Museum presents 8,000 pieces from the collection of Mr. Le Court de Billot. This passionate Mauritian conchophile has collected seashells from around the world with concern of ecosystems and species. The collection began before him with his parents. They entrusted it to him as they also passed on their passion for shells. 

During your visit, you will discover all the secrets of the shells: their morphology, their living mechanism, their defense system, the beautiful, perfect patterns and dreamy colours.  You will also learn how men have used shells throughout the world over the course of centuries.

​

World of Seashells is the only Seashells museum in Mauritius and hosts the largest collection on the African continent. There is the mini laboratory for children, where they can participate in fun and educative activities, such as designing their own shells.
