Schelpenmuseum Zaamslag: permanently closed

The Schelpenmuseum in Zaamslag is permanently closed. The name refers to a former private collection on the Plein, with shells, marine animals and material from local archaeology.

Plan your visit ↗

A wide-ranging collection

Besides shells, the former collection also included corals, minerals and fossils. It thus brought together different kinds of natural forms, although the current listing does not describe a display that can be visited.

The village too

Archaeological subjects relating to Zaamslag formed another side of the museum. Descriptions of that collection may still help you recognise the collecting field, but they are not an invitation to visit.

Old hours remain listed

A museum guide may show both a closure label and an old weekly timetable. For planning, the closure notice must take precedence; old days do not make the collection accessible again.

Before you go

No museum visit is possible at the former address. Do not rely on old opening times and do not assume a replacement location without a concrete announcement.
