Out & About: Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum

Please join the Dubin Center for an excursion to the beautiful, newly restored Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. After withstanding catastrophic damage from hurricane Ian, the staff of the museum is proud to reopen its doors to the public beginning in the Spring of 2024. This museum contains thirty exhibits including the Great Hall of Shells which boasts a collection of over 550,000 shells and the Beyond Shells living gallery where you will have the opportunity to observe and interact with over sixty species of marine life. Come say hello to the fish, seahorses, mollusks and octopi that call the shell museum home. Admission is $8.50 per person. Please note that this outing begins at 11:00 am.
