Paul Gauguin Museum, Art museum in Papeari, Tahiti.

The Paul Gauguin Museum occupies a Japanese-style building near the Botanical Gardens, displaying over 350 paintings and sketches from the artist's career.

Father Patrick O'Reilly and the Singer-Polignac Foundation established the museum in 1964, marking the location where Gauguin resided during his 1891 Polynesian stay.

The collections include original documents, photographs, reproductions, sculptures, engravings, and gouaches that represent French Polynesian and Marquesan artistic elements.

Located at PK 51, 2 Papeari, the museum currently undergoes renovations, with visitors advised to check the reopening schedule before planning their visits.

The museum contains previously unseen block prints and sketches, which will be displayed in specialized showcases after the renovation completion.
