Fodor's Expert Review Maison de la Culture
Pape'ete
Arts/Performance Venue
The nation's cultural center is housed in a traditional Polynesian design, octagonal building which has a theater, cinema, exhibition space, and a library. Located on the waterfront, almost adjacent to Place To'ata, this is the place to catch dance performances, film festivals, and cultural activities. Some events are free; others cost around 1,000 CFP per show. The center's Tahitian name is Te Fare Tauhiti Nui.
