Overview

There’s so much to see here including exhibits on Polynesian culture, 22 million specimens of animal and plant life, and even an ‘active' volcano display. Discover the rich culture of the Hawaiian Islands and their people, and learn about one of the most biologically and culturally diverse geographical regions on earth.

The museum is made up of five different buildings that cover everything from history to art, not to mention an impressive collection of insect specimens. View 6 million seashells, 500,000 marine invertebrates, 490,000 plant specimens, and 130,000 fish specimens. There’s also 2.4 million Pacific and Hawaiian artifacts and over one million historic photographs – so you can see the islands and it's people.

Clear signage when we arrived. Plenty of time to explore afterward, we’d echo the hype online.
