At the Robert Wan Pearl Museum, located on the enchanting island of Tahiti, visitors are immersed in the world of pearls, where they can learn everything there is to know about these luminous gems. The museum offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical figures who adorned themselves with pearls, delving into the intricacies of pearl farming, and providing insights into choosing the perfect pearl. From the secrets of their cultivation to their rich history, the museum educates and inspires pearl enthusiasts and newcomers alike. A highlight of the collection is the largest round Tahitian cultured pearl in existence: a 26mm round Tahitian Silver (grey) of AAA quality, weighing 8.7 grams. Aptly named the “Robert WAN,” this pearl epitomizes the pinnacle of pearl perfection. The Robert Wan Pearl Museum is not just an activity but an essential experience in Tahiti, offering visitors the tools and knowledge to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship behind every pearl.
