★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a very popular place, basically because it's not known. Use Google maps to find it, tucked away in a residential area of Malviya Nagar, Jaipur.
An almost comprehensive collection of shelled molluscs. Collected through the near obsessive interest of a single person, Mrs. Alice Garg, who is now in her eighties.
The single employee, Mr. Meena, caretaker and guide is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You won't regret going here.
Entry fee is 30 rupees. Photography is not permitted as it damages the shells.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unique place to visit in Jaipur. Very close to the largest mall in Jaipur. 10-15 min from Sanganer Airport Jaipur. Corals & rare shells, conches, fossils and many other precious things are displayed. The staff is very polite & helps to understand the uniqueness of each piece. A must visit place in Jaipur.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice collection of rare shells. It is good place for kids. The owner is a very distinguished personality and has collected these shells during her tours to several places and beaches. Every piece in the museum is clearly marked and well explained.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Collection is good. Keeper guy is very good.
But they are not advertising this museum properly. Very few people are aware of it. Damn this is a national museum but the presentation is very very very poor. It is made in a house, a national museum in house? Seriously?
Whoever is the main director or key member of the museum, I am pretty sure that he/she have zero interest in this great collection.
A small art gallery has better presentation than this.
I feel bad that despite of seeing plethora of items, I am left with the impression of an ordinary souvenir shop. And the reason is "presentation".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unique place to visit. But then i feel the way things are now, until and unless someone is doing research on this subject or is too passionate or learned about sea shells, he or she will not find it engaging after a while. Make the place more engaging. Use suitable AV medium that offers relevant explanations. Presently the guide is definitely doing his job but AV medium have their own engagement capacity. Also add more variety to souvenirs that one can buy

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First and Only of it's kind Museum India.. that only makes it real worthy of one's visit.. situated at Lt. Shaheed Amit Bhardwaj Marg at Malviya Nagar, Jaipur, Alice Garg National Sea Shell Museum is having more than 3000 varieties of Sea shells classified into Rare, Uncommon and Common categories. They have collected these shells from across the globe and preserved them beautifully. The maintenance is really commendable. They also have Live Shells which is worth experiencing for a lifetime memory.
The Entry Charges are as follows:
Adults - 50/-
Students - 30/-
Timings
10 AM to 5 PM
Thursday Closed.
Good place for every age group provides proper knowledge about life of sea creatures and sea shells. It takes around half an hour for the complete visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a sad experience for me, this museum is either temporarily or permanently closed, nobody knows, google said that it was open but nah the gates were locked, we asked neighbors, they said since lockdown no one came here. If you're planning to visit call them once if no one picks up or the number is wrong, chances are it is still closed.(We went there around 11:30 am and it was not Thursday)
