"Excellent experience, with informative presentations and beautiful pearls available. Lots of details on pearl diving, oyster biology, and Robert Wan's pearl farms."

"This is a great place to learn about the pearl industry, which is French Polynesia's main export. The displays are well done, with information in both French and English. A beautiful model explains the evolution of an atoll. Information on oyster biology and pearl culture is very informative. A display case showcases valuable pearls. A one-hour visit is well worth it."

"The private museum is located right in the city center, on the main street. Admission is free, and most importantly, no one pressures you to buy anything. You can wander freely among the display cases and admire a vast collection of all kinds of pearls. No sales pitches, no disturbances: a perfect place to stroll and have a pleasant time."
