Awesome place. Must visit for all mysore visiters. The art forms here took 40 years to make and made entirely out of a variety of sea shells.

This place is a must visit. It is very easy to miss from the main road. The lady who created these magnificent replicas and other items truly deserves a place in the record books. I was specially impressed with the Lord Ganesha idol and the scale replica of St.Philomenas church.Entry fee is minimum. Kids will love this place. There are many beautiful things crafted from sea shells. Its a relatively small area so the tour doesnt take more than 20-30mins.

Nice place. Nice collection of art works done from shells collected from various countries.We were surprised to see such huge things made out of shell.There are many artistic things made out of shell, garlic skin, onion skin, groundnut skin etc. Hats off to the artist. Each and every collection is worth watching.Well maintained, has good parking.Please do visit, if you are around and have not visited.

This is a gem. the shell museum is enroute the Nandi hill and is a sight to behold. Has basic toilet facilities and is a good trip to take. They use shells to make structures and models. Wonderful dedication and an insignia of India but getting the Guinness world record. Must visit to support the owner for taking such hard work

About the place-The art is mesmerizing(Shopping section below). This is a must visit place. Its very peaceful and clean. They charge very decent amount for entry totally worth it. I was surprised after entering the place. Make this your first stop at 9AM. you will enjoy the art work.Shopping -- You can shop from wide range of collectables and interior art pieces from here. Mirror to wrist bands, hair clips to everything made of sea shells. The store is in the exit ask for anything you wish to buy. Rates are reasonable do buy if you really need you might not find them elsewhere.Artist-- She was working inside, got a chance to see her as well. Humble lady.** PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH **

Hatsoff to whoever had made these. Beutiful. Entry Ticket is required. Less crowded. Spend as much time as you want. Art lovers will definitely love this place. Thers a stall too where you can buy some handmade things (Not sea shell made). Visit once, when returning from Chamundi betta. Regular cleaning is required. The mats and carpets are dusty.

Vising these all places are proud, because these all places show hardwark. Everyone should come here and see. Unity diversity you can see here because here you can see Disney world, Hindu God, Muslim culture and much more. They are charging only 40 rs entrance ticket. And small shops are here if you want to eat or drink. It is walking distance from see Shel museum.

Must visit in Mysore. just opposite to the sand sculpture museum. The lady is a guiness record holder for shell sculptures. We met her at the museum and she was too humble. We loved her creations and something very unique. Check out the photos. This type of talent needs recognition and support. Pleas visit whenever you are in Mysore.

The city of palaces and museums has one more attraction for visitors with the inauguration of ‘Kalashree’ a museum of beautiful artwork, sculptures and the magnificent recreation of Taj Mahal in seashells and conchs.Radha Mallappa, a resident of Hanumanthanagar, has been working on products of the sea like seashells and conchs since more than two decades and designed different items. Beginning from the smallest flower to the giant sized Taj Mahal, Shiva temple, church, each piece is unique and eye-catching.

A rare piece of art!Ms.Radha Mallappa did a splendid job by curating a museum like this.Its hard to imagine for anyone to create Art out of Sea shells on shore.She is also a guinness world record holder for the tallest art created using Sea shells.Its walkable from Sand Art museum which is also worth visiting.Coming to the fare details,it costs 40rs per adult person and 20rs extra for Mobile/Camera photography.

Guinness World Record Sea Shell Art Museum is about 5km from Mysuru, on the way to Chamundi Hill near Jackie Quarters. This Gem of Beautiful Art work is the 40 years Hardwork and Dedication of Radha Mallappa (who is from Mysuru). A big Shoutout to her passion and patience. The Museum holds the Guinness World Record for the Largest SeaShell Sculpture which is 6.74m (22ft 1in) in the sum of all dimensions. Overall one of a kind place worth Visiting. The Museum has opened recently, please visit and Encourage

Not so great experience.Just a place where you can find someones hobby exhibited. Rs 50 for the entrance is way too high. Rs 10 would be more than enough. Not a great place to visit. Its just the art that can be appreciated, But not at such a high cost.

Do not go on the look of outside of the museum. Simply amazing place, specially to go with the kids. Great masterpiece of pure dedication and hardware. The entry fee is very minimal and with every penny of it. It wont take much of time. Not a big one but surely to see once. And surely be taken as one of the stop on your trip to Mysore.

Dont get decived by the looks of it from out side. The museum on the way to Chamundi Hills. We almost decided not to go as it looked like any small outlets on the same road. The museum is actually a display of extreme hardwork n passionately curated art pieces by a lady who is doctor. I wish the city helps in providing much better building.

Review №79

A must visit place on the way to Chamundeshwari hills. The entire museum consists of various places,gods and people built entirely by sea-shells. Some of the models have been entered into the Guiness book of records as the model built by the most number of seashells. The museum is entirely managed by women. And the record- holder is a very humble woman who has spent so many years collecting sea-shells and building each and every model. Its worth the visit.

Creative way of representing God and making use of polished shells is a nice way to do it. the place is very small with four gods and four shelled statues and shopping items.The amount of hard work and the experience they have put in is immense but, For the amount for each ticket they are getting the place is not worthy and for taking pictures its going to cost a still more for which the lady will be coming behind you to see what youre doing actually.Better to visit the wax museum and natural arts history and chamundi hills and return back.
