Discover art in seashell patterns and forms

This museum in Seogwipo explores seashell forms, artworks made with shells and hands-on craft activities.

Archive photos show the facilities when photographed and do not guarantee that every area or program is available today.

Enjoy photography and exhibitions together with your companions

With children, start by finding similarly shaped shells or describing differences in colors and patterns. Unlike shells collected on a beach, exhibits may not be touched without permission. Use craft tools only in areas allowed by the instructor.

Read the rules on approaching exhibits and taking photos first, and stay with your group in dark spaces. Self-guided viewing and activities that involve operating screens work differently, even within the same venue. Leave time to pause between photos and revisit works that interest you.
