That is an amazing looking little room!  Its my dream to have something like that in my house, someday.  The only thing is, the webpage with the graphics is in French, and being a snobby North American, I haven't learnt to speak it yet...  hee hee  Is there an English translation of the page?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like there's a list of whats in the cabinets as well as some other info, I'd love to know whats in there!

And on a more general note, whats kinds of things are in collections like this?  Just shells, or other things as well?  I've seen picture of another place like this, its got billions of shells as well as animal skeletons, skulls, taxidermied snakes and birds and things like that.  Its a pretty big project putting something together like that, hey?  Where do you start?
