Small museum with a large and unique collection of shellfish and knowledgeable helpful staff! It was interesting to stop by for an hour or so! Eur 10 entrance for a family of four and paid in cash. Unluckily the shelf description is all in local language and you get a file with numbers for a description in English which was not always easy to following but still highly recommended!

This was one of my favourite museums in Slovenia. The displays of maritime archaeology were creative and unique, I really enjoyed these. I also found that this was the only museum of the 8 or so in Slovenia that any information on their Yugoslav past which was fascinating.
