The galleries contain a wide variety of ancient tools and implements used as ceremonial objects. Each piece provides a glimpse into the daily lives and rituals of the people.
Taking center stage is Tahiti's seafaring legacy with a collection of boats and navigational tools that once guided Polynesian voyagers across the Pacific ocean. Tahitians were skilled ancient mariners that navigated the open waters with astounding precision.
