Tahiti Attractions
Pearl Museum
Cultured pearls, particularly the famed Tahitian Black Pearl,
are French Polynesia's main export and the best buy for visitors to
the islands. If you are planning to shop for pearls it is wise to
first stop by the Pearl Museum in Papeete where you can find out
all about these 'gems of the sea' and learn to judge their
quality.
