Bishop Museum

Overview

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum is the largest museum in Hawaiʻi, serving as the official Museum of Natural and Cultural History for the state. Located in Honolulu's Kalihi district, it was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop to honor his wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The museum has expanded significantly, offering diverse collections and educational experiences.

Bishop Museum houses over 26 million items reflecting the stories of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific, including Polynesian cultural artifacts, royal family papers, and materials from various Pacific islands. The facility features Hawaiian Hall, a planetarium, and the Science Adventure Center, providing interactive exhibits on Hawaiian culture and natural history. Educational programs and community events are central to its mission, with ongoing support from donations.
