Malacological Museum

The Malacological Museum is housed in the old wing of the Franciscan monastery in Makarska, a protected monument founded in 1518. Friar Jure Radić opened it in 1963 with the shell collection he had begun in 1959; more than 3,000 shells from the Adriatic and from tropical seas are on display, along with fossil ammonites, rudists and corals. The display was renewed in 2019.
