Introduction
This Museum is one of the oldest buildings in the United States. Charles Reed Bishop founded the Bishop Museum back in 1889 to honor the memory of the Kamehameha family, whose lineage died with his wife. Today the manicured grounds host a variety of interesting exhibits. There is a planetarium, an interactive natural history exhibit, an expansive ancient Hawaiian history collection, and a Hawaii sports museum tucked in the back. Additionally, they have an animatronic dinosaur exhibit here that is will impress both the young and old. They have a fully stocked gift shop and a snack bar if you are hungry. This museum is made up of several buildings set on a beautiful plot of land, making exploring this facility both scenic and informative.

Is it pouring rain? No mattah. Try the Bishop museum. In the main building, there's the skeleton of a blue whale suspended over a central courtyard and lots of exhibits peculiar to Hawaii. Hula show in late morning (call). Gain some great insights into Hawaiian history. There's also a cool planetarium show and a wonderful book/gift shop.
So much rich culture and beautiful art. A must see!
Bishop museum is always a treat for the family. The main older building houses the history of the Hawaiian monarchy and Hawaiian culture, while the outer buildings house a planetarium, a exhibition wing with changing exhibits, and a science and tech building dealing with the nature and science of the Hawaiian islands. Great time for all
A must if you want to learn about Hawaiian History and see the artifacts!
