HONOLULU MUSEUM OF ART

The Honolulu Museum of Art's mission is to showcase the highest quality art from around the world for the benefit of residents and visitors. Since its founding as the Honolulu Academy of Arts in 1927, the museum has always had traditional galleries and a commitment to art education. Today the museum has two buildings to exhibit art, an art school, a downtown gallery, and a theater. Over the years, the collection has grown into one of the most extensive in the United States, with a special emphasis on works of art that reflect the diverse communities that call Hawai‘i home.
