French Polynesian and Marquesan cultural aspects are represented in its exhibits, which include original Paul Gauguin documents, photographs, reproductions, sculptures, engravings and gouaches. Also included and unseen in years are some of his sketches and block prints.[Kay, Robert F. "Hidden Tahiti". Ulysses Press, Berkeley, California, 2001, pp159-160. ISBN 1-56975-222-2.]
