About Dalian Shell Museum

Dalian Shell Museum was founded in 2003 by Mr. Zhang Yi. It is a professional shell museum integrating shellfish research, science education, exhibition display, collection and international exchange. The museum building was designed by the famous architect Academician Qi Kang. In August 2024, the museum was classified as a national third-level museum. It was closed in June 2025 due to the expiration of the lease contract for the building, and later continued to open with the support of Xinghaiwan Group. The museum was officially opened to the public on July 17, 2003. Due to the limited exhibition area of the old site, it was difficult to open a large number of specimens to the audience. In 2006, the Dalian Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government decided to relocate and expand the Dalian Shell Museum.
