Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center
This 16,500 square-foot facility
adds a new dimension to the Museum
by providing exhibits that are immersive
and interactive – with a strong emphasis
on better understanding Hawai‘i’s environment.
Visitors become active participants in exploring areas of science in which Hawai‘i has gained international recognition for cutting edge research – including volcanology, oceanography, and biodiversity.
Hawai'i Sports Hall of Fame
The Hawai'i Sports Hall of Fame records for all time, with pictures and memorabilia, the outstanding accomplishments of Hawai'i's sports history.
The primary goal of this exhibit is to encourage our youth to emulate these outstanding athletes for their devotion, dedication, pursuit of athletic excellence and steadfast character.
Hawaiian Hall
Under Renovation - Reopening Mid-2009
Hawaiian Hall houses the treasured objects of the Hawaiian culture given to the Museum by members of the ali‘i and collected over the years, along with artifacts of the European, American, and Asian immigrant cultures. The exhibit is housed on three floors of the glorious 19th-century Victorian-style museum gallery.
On July 10, 2006 Hawaiian Hall began an ambitious multimillion dollar renovation that is scheduled to be complete in early 2009. Improvements will be made to visitor access, climate control, and object conservation. Learn more here.
