My dad's shell collection in Bermuda.

Thanks again Dagmar, he did build a special room in the house for the collection, but even that space ran out!.

This collection looks really amazing, when I heard you talking about your father's shell collection I always thought about some showcases in the living-room. LOL I couldn't have been more mistaken. Thanks for showing it to us and even though I got here late as I get anywhere else LOL I want to give a big thank you to you. :)))

Thank you all for your comments, hope you saw my explanation why I disappeared for 2 weeks.
That is a giant clam from the Pacific.
The Institute opened in the 90s and is located on East Broadway going out of Hamilton.

So awesome Robbie
smiles :)

Robbie that's truly awe inspiring

What an achievement. Small portion! Amazing. Thanks Robbie.

Robbie he is one very dedicated collector and has produced a wonderland of shells.

Thank you for all the input about your father I did appreciate it and enjoyed reading it.

Robbie, I've just popped in to see what Bermudian delights you have been posting. This is a stunning display from your father. What a magnificent donation he as made! Big smiles!!

wow,I did not know your father was an artist!

This is magnificent Robbie, and so very well displayed, Thanks Robbie.

Yes, thank you for sharing that with us, Robbie. It is a truly amazing collection.

This is incredible Robbie. Thanks for sharing the story and the photo!

My goodness, Robbie, I'm truly speechless !! This room is beyond awesome, I could spend hours there for certain. You must be SO proud of your Dad. . . what a lot of work he put in, but I know that if you love doing something, it's a joy, not work! Do you have photos of any of the individual shells? Thanks so much for sharing these :)))

Wow you showed photos before, but I never had the idea that it's that big.......

Impressive. When did this display room open and where is it located in Bermuda? It looks so familiar and I am wonderding if I saw this display. Hard to imagine so many different types of shells.....

Your father made an incredibly big thing, thank you very much Robbie.

WOW! Truly amazing. I love that your Dad got many of his shells from dredging that had another purpose. I had no idea his collection was this extensive. Thank you for posting this overview, notes and also the single picture. I asked my earlier question before I saw this post.

Fantastic!

I remember, ages ago, when you first talked about you dad, his collecting and this wonderful place where the shells were exhibited. I had no idea it would be this extensive. Please, if you can, post photos of the individual shelving units! They would be wonderful. thanks, Robbie. It's lovely!

WOW that is a collection.. Thanks Robbie for posting...

Awesome. Very impressive - both the collection and the setting. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness!! This is impressive!!! Thanks so very much for showing, Robbie!!

This is awesome Robbie. A wonderful collection in a lovely setting. Thanks for sharing

I am just simply speechless.

Very Cool! I collect a few myself and its super to see this. Thanks!

That is so very impressive. You must be very proud of your Dad, Robbie! I need a setup like this in my closet for shoes!!! Thanks, Robbie.

OUTSTANDING! So impressive!

I ditto PKH. I knew but didn't realize just how extensive the collection is. He is to be commended. I am sure science profitted from his collecting. And what an honor to be so displayed. Thanks, Robbie............

Very cool, Mate!!!

Great looking display of shells.

Just amazing!!! That's a hell of a lot of shells for a small portion!! Thanks Robbie.

Holy shell shock! Did he do all the identification and labelling as well...that in itself is a full time job.

Love shells...and shell puzzles. Will you do some in 70-80 pieces?

Wow, wow, and wow again! Absolutely amazing! An incredible collection, and the Institute properly gave it a beautifully done setting!

Is that a giant clam shell in the back? Are they or were they in Bermuda? Have only seen them in the South Pacific.

Wow! Incredible! Thanks, Robbie! And well done, "Dad"!

I'm with you Gracie. My bag is packed!

I am lost for words Robbie! this is just totally amazing! Now you are in real trouble, we all want to go to Bermuda and see this! Are you ready?

I knew your dad had a shell collection-but THIS is totally BEYOND anything I envisioned! Amazing. Good job, dad.:)

Oh my gosh, this is something else.....!!!!! Thanks, Robbie.

Are you serious Robbie? Wow. Really???? Is it open to the public?

Wow Robbie! I hope I can see this someday. How proud you must be.

awesome, lots of history
