Maison James Norman Hall, Writer residence museum in Arue, French Polynesia
The building contains James Norman Hall's 3,000-volume library, his typewriter, and personal effects from the Hall family collection spanning multiple decades.
After settling in Tahiti during 1924, James Norman Hall constructed this residence in 1926, where he wrote parts of The Bounty Trilogy.
The museum displays the integration of European and Tahitian lifestyles through the story of Hall and his wife Sarah Teraireia Winchester.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours and information materials in multiple languages.
The property features breadfruit trees that connect to Captain Bligh's expedition, which sought to transplant this Tahitian fruit to the West Indies.
