Honolulu Museum of Art, Honolulu

Visited this awesome museum on a Saturday, midday. Wasn’t that busy at all which is nice but also kinda disappointing because this museum is amazing! Entry fee is $20 for adults, $10 for Hawaii residents. All children 18 and under are free. Once in, the museum is expansive. So many galleries and wonderful outdoor courts. Galleries fester artwork from all around the world. Just amazing works. You can tell the folks that run and work at this museum really care about cleanliness/presentation. There is a small coffee bar and a full size restaurant. The gift shop is full of all kinds of cool things as well. Living on the island, I can easily see myself getting a membership here because there is just so much to see and I feel like I’ll discover something new with each visit.

Wow this museum really impressed me! The little courtyards are all charming and there are so many great exhibits and wonderful artists- a mix of old and new. I had a great coffee after at their coffee bar and sat for awhile in the palm courtyard. Highly recommend spending an afternoon here!

Honestly, this museum seems like a hidden gem. Extremely surprised that there weren’t more people crowding into this place. I suppose they have occupancy limits. However, you won’t be disappointed once you step through. The beauty of the gardens and neutral space was nice. Also was surprised to see Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Georgia O’Keeffe(completely surprised to see her Hawaiian prints, no clue she did them in 1939). They also have a nice cafe, restaurant, and great gift shop. Only wish I had more room to take more gifts back.

This museum is fantastic. It’s $20/adult $10/kids and active duty military, veterans and their parties are admitted for free during the summer. The grounds are well laid out and the exhibits are fantastic. So much history within these old walls. Pieces of art on display from around the world even a few BC times and one particular piece that might be one of the only surviving full size pieces of art left in the world. I was planning on paying the $20 to enter and once I asked about military I received the discount… having said that. I would have gladly paid the $20 for the exhibit. It’s phenomenal!!

Beautiful open concept allows sunlight to bask the ~4 courtyards. $20 admission fee, must hold bag on shoulder or in front of you to avoid bumping into sculptures, museum closes early so come early as I didn't get to see everything. The paintings are stunning and you'll learn a lot about Kamehameha. My favorite paintings are attached.
