Exhibits of Hawaiian history and culture on display in the Hawaiian Hall at the Bishop Museum
Built from 1898 to 1903, Hawaiian Hall was the first official Bishop Museum building. The museum's premier gallery with built-in display cases of prized native koa wood (Acacia koa) were custom built and installed with special locks and air seals to protect the valuable artifacts. Bishop Museum is the largest museum in the state of Hawaii and is the premier natural and cultural history museum in the Pacific. Founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in honor of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Millions of artifacts, documents and photographs about Hawaii and other Pacific island cultures are safely stored and made available to researchers from around the world.
