Enjoy a scenic drive along the entire coast of Tahiti as you travel to The Paul Gauguin Museum, for insight into his world, and an opportunity to realize what life was like in Tahiti 1800’s. In 1891 Paul Gauguin sailed for the South Seas to escape European Civilization “everything that is artificial and conventional”, with the exception of one visit to France , from 1893 to 1895, he returned and remained in the tropics for the rest of his life. He lived in Tahiti for some years, and later in the Marquesan Islands, until the time of his death in 1903.

The museum features lithographs and prints of his original works, and an interesting retrospective of his life in the islands, told through documents, letters, writings and a collection of his household objects. There is a display of Gauguin’s works in miniature showing the whereabouts of all his paintings.

After visiting the museum we’ll stop to relax and sample local Tahitian foods such as bread fruit, taro, poisson cru, and fei, and enjoy an extensive hot and cold buffet lunch, at the Museum of Paul Gauguin Restaurant, situated on the water, on the scenic southern coast, overlooking Tahiti.
