About
Quick facts: The exhibition halls house over 800 species of pearl oysters and shells from across the Pacific. Visitors can view unique black pearls that have been harvested in Polynesia for centuries.
Highlights: In one of the display cases lies a pearl measuring 21 millimeters in diameter, one of the largest black pearls in the world, which changes color depending on the angle of the light. Every day at noon a master pearl worker comes to show how pearls are sorted by luster and shade with the naked eye.
