Lonely Planet review for Beachcomber Gallery
One of the best arts and crafts galleries on the island, the Beachcomber Gallery has a great selection of jewellery, carvings, pearls, craftwork and paintings locally sourced in the islands. You can sometimes visit the workshop behind the main building to see how the black-pearl jewellery and shell carvings are made.
This large gallery occupies a building constructed in 1845 as a Sunday school. The building was on the verge of ruin before its restoration in 1992 - you can clearly see where the new roof sits on top of the old walls (though quite where the present Renaissance theme came from is anyone's guess).
