Honolulu’s Bishop Museum is Hawai‘i’s largest museum dedicated to studying and preserving the history of Hawai‘i and the Pacific. Originally designed to house the extensive collection of Hawaiian artifacts and royal family heirlooms of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, a descendant of King Kamehameha I, the museum is now the premier natural and cultural history institution in the Pacific. One of O‘ahu’s most historic places, the museum holds millions of artifacts, documents and photos about Hawai‘i and other Polynesian cultures. Visit the newly renovated Hawaiian Hall, which immerses you in Native Hawaiian culture and history by showcasing a variety of important artifacts. In the planetarium, kids can learn how voyagers navigated the Pacific using the stars. In the Science Adventure Center, children can see Hawai‘i’s unique natural environment like never before through a variety of interactive exhibits. The museum is open seven days a week (excluding some holidays) with regular hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
