Tahiti is known for it’s beautiful beaches, but the island
is home to a number of free museums. The pearl museum is the only

philosophy, and how it has affected religion in Tahiti. At the Museum

of pearls in French Polynesia, and take a different approach to
exploring the island. Save a few francs, the best things in life
