Marelle's Seashell Museum

The museum houses a collection of more than 3,000 seashells from different oceans, arranged in glass displays with identification labels and origin information.

Marelle Diokno established this educational facility after decades of collecting specimens during her travels across multiple continents starting in the 1980s.

The exhibits demonstrate the traditional use of shells in Philippine coastal communities for crafts, decorations, musical instruments, and ceremonial purposes.

Tours in English and Tagalog run daily from 8 AM to 5 PM, with admission fees of 150 pesos for adults and 75 pesos for children.

Each shell specimen undergoes a specific preservation process using natural materials to maintain its original colors and prevent deterioration over time.
