If you are visiting Chamundi hill and interested in artworks, then this is the one of the nearest museum and right place to spend your time. Few piece of artworks are so excellent. Artworks exhibited here are made using sea shells. One might feel the building of this museum is not so attractive from outside . But the hardwork , creativity the artist has put is truly appreciable.

A great place to visit with family and friends.. Creativity at its best

Probably one of the more amazing art museums I've seen. Some art took 8 year to complete! The entrance fee is very less and we'll worth it. Bring your kids! Don't forget to buy a memory item also. Art is still being created so do take a look. There's plenty of parking space. And come early. Because this museum is highly popular! And if you can: plan a weekday! And maybe you'll be able to join on a photo with the owners and the artist!

Amazing art and unbelievable creation made by sea shells. The museum area is small but the art work done is excellent. They also have many accessories and other toys for sale as well. The idol of Lord Ganesha was one of the major attraction of this museum. She got her name in the Guinness book of world record for this idol. The replica of St. Philomena's cathedral and Taj mahal was spectacular. This museum is located on the way to Chamundi Hills. Do visit this place 👌

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.Philomena's church. Entry fee is minimum. Kids will love this place. There are many beautiful things crafted from sea shells. It's a relatively small area so the tour doesn't take more than 20-30mins.

This is the place where Guinness record seashell models are kept. Great thing done, kudos to the concentration went into making all of the models done and kept in this place. Great to see church, Ganesh and tajmahal models. Prity big models and very beautifully crafted. Eye catching models, visit this and see the record model once to see great work.

good art work sea shells 🐚, it is amazing to know she took 5 to 8 years to complete each model. Rather than wasting money on surgery food items, it was worth visiting this place and encouraging artist to keep the hard work.

This is an awesome experience. Have not seen such a beautiful museum anywhere else. Also met the artist ma'am. Very humble.

Very good art , and we'll maintained inside and lot of effort put in for creating these art. If you are a Art lover you have to visit here once.

Awesome creativity using the sea shells & other materials... The museum area is small but the art work done is excellent. I have seen different designs using shells but this is the first of its kind. I would recommend people to visit this place if u like to explore some creative skills. The shell museum and sand museum are close by on chamundi hill road.. Entry fee is Rs 60 for 10 years and above

This place is situated on the way to Chamundi hills, at the foothills. It's just a little further away from the sand museum. This place has a 60 rupees entrance fee. The people who contributed to creating these beautiful sculptures out of the millions of sea shells they gathered have my utmost respect. The number of seashells gathered to realise this museum and the amount of work that has gone into it to produce such detailed artwork is commendable! You'll see various themes of sculptures inside made purely with various types of sea shells. There's a sculpture of St Philomena's cathedral (famous church in Mysuru), a couple of 10-12 foot Ganapathi, the gorgeous looking Taj Mahal of course and plenty of types of sea shells displayed. You need to visit this place!

It was an awesome experience on visiting Sea Shell Museum. NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE. Complete credits to the art work and patience of the person who did it. Too many arts are available in museum made from sea shell collected from various places. Museum 5/5: It is clean and well maintained. Also, it has shopping area where we can buy art items made from sea shell. Location 5/5: Museum is located on the way to or foot of Chamundi Hills. Parking 5/5: Museum has wide parking in front of it. Also, can be parked on both side of road as it is wide. Art 5/5: NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE. HATS OFF TO THE ARTIST. Price 5/5: Adults (₹50), Children (₹30) and Mobile/camera (₹10)

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

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.

A very good place, it is a small place that you can visit and return quickly... recommended if you are visiting Mysore

I never visited this kind of Museum in my life. It's like a dream once you enter here. The artist made those architecture so well using sea shell which makes me spellbound. I would highly recommend people to come and check their work as it's a very small museum which is easily get skipped.

A beautiful musuem where everything is made of sea shells. It's worth the visit. There is a statue of lord ganesh built using different sea shells and a replica of philomenas church using 26 different types of sea shells. It is a must visit place for art lovers. Entry ticket is 60 rs per person. There is a selfie point where one can take pictures.

This place has the masterpiece created with variety of sea shells collected and the efforts goes from past 40 years and the art made is pretty amazing and the efforts are unmatched for the models they have created. These models created is recorded by Guinness World record and the lady who does this have been awarded for their Masterpiece

I am running out of adjectives to describe this place. People should come and admire the art work of Smt. Dr. Radha Mallappa. The idol of Lord Ganesha was one of the major attraction of this museum. She got her name in the Guinness book of world record for this idol. The replica of St. Philomena's cathedral and Taj mahal was amazing. It's a must watch place if you are coming to Mysore.

It's a good place to visit if you have 1 to 1.5 hours to spare. It has lots of beautiful sculptures made purely from sea shells. And one of the sculpture has even received Guinness World Record award. The entry fee is very nominal.

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.

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.

Nice place.... . Nice effort by the people who prepared all the monuments and statue with sea shells and their is also a stall in a place where some show pieces prepared with sea shells are sold.. ... . One who is travelling to chamundeshwari temple from mysore caan make time to visit this place as it comes on the way......

Interesting place to visit. This is located on the way to Chamundi Hills right across another famous Sand Museum is Mysore. Beautiful art works using Sea shells, very well done and displayed. If you have 30 Mins to 1 hr to spare you can visit this place.

.. Artistically & as a unique THEME, this is a very good Museum. PROS: .. Worth visiting once, due to rare theme .. Rich for Camera, although there are some limitations, which will be explained in Cons. .. Some of the sculptors, especially the St. Philomina's church, Ganesha & Shiva Linga are really beautiful. .. Clean & neat premises & interior. Cons: .. Not worth for the cost; I would suggest a ticket fare as Rs.30 maximum; Rs.25 optimal. .. Even in wide, ie. at 24 mm focal length, which is the common lens, we cannot cover few items. .. Mini Aquarium is not up to mark .. Poor lighting at some places .. Poor current backup, when Electricity fails .. I have seen a staff member behaving arrogantly with a visitor - very bad training. .. Some works are good, but covered with other sculptures.

Good place with lots of items. Well maintained & easily accessible.

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 **

A must visit place. Full of creativity. Very fine art. Loved this place.

Small place that you could easily go past but once you enter it is a mini wonderland created by an artist all out of shells making various statues and historic buildings of India. Also can buy items such as earrings and bangles and various other items made from shell at a reasonable price made by the same artist. Definitely a great place to visit in mysore with family. Ticket price too was decent.

Unbelievable Creation based upon sea shells. so subtle, beautiful paintings, articulation, illustrations on various topics. The creator is really a genious artist. Hats off to her

Visited the seashell museum in Mysuru – amazing shells from everywhere! Dr. Radha Mallapa's 40 years of work is incredible. Plus, it's conveniently walking distance from the sand museum, and tickets are just ₹60 per adult. A must-see spot!

I recommend this place to visit at the time of Mysore dasara because the city was cleaned and you can enjoy the museum with beautiful dasara lightings.

Very pretty! Amazing creativity just by using seashells. A number of idols and sceneries including the huge idol of lord Ganesha looked magnificent.

It's a very small museum, but it's kind of amazing. I'm impressed when there are people who are dexterous and patient.

It was such a nice experience, infact a great experience to explore this Shell art works. A very nice place for the art lovers. Even we met the artist who made these works. No words to say more because experiencing it made me dumb❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳

A small but beautiful museum with different shell art pieces. I loved the church and Taj Mahal a lot

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.

Excellent art. One must promote these artists by visiting and encouraging them.

Wow, this is mind blowing work.. i never saw an art like this.. no wonder if it is won Guinness World records.

Excellent work.done by her. She started.rhis work at the age of 16. Dneing this more than 40 years. Must visit this if you are in Mysore.

This museum was created and maintained by Guinness World Record holder lady. Good one time visit. Ticket prices were Rs 50 per adult, centrally located and parking also available (Road side).

Good works

There is lot of things to see inside this museum and the entry cost is very low. But Still this place is not so popular I don't know why even though worth visiting museum in Mysore. There are mainly 4 design replicas such as Taj Mahal, St. Philomena's cathedral and more which is made with ton of Sea shells. A quiet unique Museum gallery in Mysore.

Not worth the money

Wow

Being a Mysorean, I feel proud about the art Mrs Radha has cultivated. She has a varied collection of sculptures made out of sea shells only. Her collection is commendable. With her patience to make this is even more appreciated.

Very few models..but they are very beautiful..ticket charge is a bit expensive

Sea shell museum must try to visit once. It was created by a women who done the wonderful job and received Guinness world record. There is lot of art work which is fully done through the shells. Also you can see there different types of shells in that creatures. Must try once if visited Mysore.

Small place but has been in guinness book of world record.. The sea shell art works and other hand crafts are awsome..Must visit when in Mysore..

Nice and wonderful place 👍

Amazing art work. Unbelievable actually. The amount of hard work she put on building this museum is commendable. Organized in a well mannered way . Though the entrance looks not so great. Just like a jackfruit. Ugly outsize heaven inside.

Must visit place in Mysore

Lovely to see the beautiful sculptures created using shells

Amazing!

Don't 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.

It's very interesting n mesmerizing artwork...must visit place in Mysore

(Translated by Google) The result of Radha Madam's hard work is the result of his penance. Looks pretty special. One by one the artworks are very unique. On the way to Chamundi Hill, there is no trail of search.

Nice place to visit

Superb creative work by the person

Very nice museum. Really amazing.

(Translated by Google) Very attractive works made of sepios and conch shells which fascinate. As well as the largest statue of Seepio world is a Ganesh idol which are also present, which is certified by Ginij book. There is an entry fee, but very little and a place to go. (Original) सीपियो और शंखों से बनी अत्यंत आकर्षक कृतियां जो मन मोह लेती है। साथ ही विश्व की सबसे बड़ी सीपियो से बनी मूर्ति भी उपस्थित हैं जो एक गणेश प्रतिमा है, जो गीनिज पुस्तक द्वारा प्रमाणित है। प्रवेश शुल्क है, पर बहुत कम और जाने लायक जगह है।

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.

Hardly in 300sqft

This is one the must visit places during the Mysore Sightseeing as it is very unique and one of its kind. The entry fee is ₹50 but it is usually less crowded and you can have a good time seeing this amazing artwork. The owner of this place as herself done all of this and it is absolutely amazing. You can view St. Philomena's Cathedral, Ganpati Bappa, Taj Mahal over 10 feet tall made form different sea shells. Also small artworks like trees, flowers etc have been made. Must visit place as it can be completed under 30 mins.

Nice..

What a awesome creation. Entry fees is costly

Amazing work.

Very good place to visit with kids and family to know the artifacts created by waste sea shell and the guiness world record holder herself will be available in the place to describe its making .

A quiet place away from main tourist attractions ,,and must appreciate the creativity and hardwork involved of the artist All the art pieces are very well crafted and attention to detail has been very well paid.

Worth the money! No matter you would have seen all photos on-line, Once you are inside, you will be awestruck by the details which has gone into making such wonderful art. There might a million plus sea shells here which has gone into making such art.

Superb work done in 40 years of extreme hard work u can see much more good things but price is little high

I never visited such kind of mesuem..one shoul visit this..there is such a mind-blowing art you will see here..all things are made up of different kind or sea shells..really it's worth visiting just for 30rs entry ticket..i bet you gonna love this mesuem..❣️❣️

It's not so recommended to visit compulsory, just if you have some time to pass while going or coming back from chamundi hills do have a look into this museum. Entry fee is too much. They are taking Rs.60/- per head. Visiting this place with that entry fee is not at all worthable to watch. All the stuff inside the museum is made up of seashells. Only thing is we will go inside of the museum and comeback out , it will take not more than half an hour to look over all the things inside the museum

Amazing place! Was wonderstuck seeing those replicas of Taj Mahal, St. Philomena's Church, and others. Worth the visit. A real treat to eyes.

It was amazing, they made items even sith few vegetable skins and all the peices are so beautiful and well sculptured.

We could hv easily missed going to this place .we are glad that we visited .. creativity at its peak .each sculpture present there was mind blowing .each took around 7&1/2 years unbelievable...so many year of dedication .best out of waste was best. We got an opportunity to meet Radha Mallappa, who's the creator of this beautiful place, in person. She was so humble i must say .few handmade jewellery shop were also there with many collections at very reasonable price..good place to shop and also support women-lead business .

Really beautiful and offbeat place to visit. The creativity & efforts that has gone behind creating all these needs to be appreciated. Many wonderful creations using sea shells that is bound to leave you in awe. Everything was nice and we even met the creator herself. They also have many accessories and other toys for sale as well. You need to visit this once to enjoy the sculptures and it'll hardly take 45 mins - 1 hour.

Radha Mallappa's seashell museum boasts Guinness World Records for the largest ganpati idol and other seashell art. The Taj Mahal is the most famous attraction. Throughout my visit, I was struck by the beauty and diversity of the sea shells on display. It was a truly unique and memorable experience that left me with a greater appreciation for the natural world. Entry fee of Rs. 60/person was a bit expensive.

Quite distinct and amazing art work. The parking is just in front of the museum. Entry fee is 60 rupees and only cash is accepted.

Entry fee is 60rs per head. Replica of Monuments were created using different Sea shells. There are many attractive art which was made of waste like onion peel, wood, pista shells. Different paintings were displayed. Really good place to childrens and people who loves art
