Oyster museum
Quai du port de peche 34140 Bouzigues
About the company:
The Oyster Museum is located in the small Mediterranean fishing village of Buzig, France. It gives visitors a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the working principle of the so-called “sea farmers” – fishermen. Visitors can watch their work and craft, learn how to open oysters and, of course, taste them.
In 1981, local residents adopted the idea to preserve traditional tools for working with shellfish. The exhibition of these instruments was presented on a temporary basis in the village house of Buzig. The exhibition was successful and the collection began to expand over time and became a permanent exhibition. Thus, already in 1991, the Oyster Museum permanently opened its doors to visitors who can observe the work and fishing of local fishermen for various mollusks and fish.
The museum is divided into three parts that can be visited. These are Clam Room, Fisherman's Shop and Aquarium. Also to the attention of visitors - a master class on opening oysters and tasting.
