A vast collection of predominantly Asian art housed in a unique gallery. HoMA galleries are situated around various courtyards with native plants, art & features like a mosaic fountain or koi pond. HoMA also houses a great coffee shop, varied gift store, Doris Duke theatre & an exceptional outdoor cafe perfect for any meal. As a prior visitor, I came for the courtyard tour to learn more about the building design and its courtyard. The docent was friendly & very knowledgeable about the history of the gallery and its creators intention to share art, particularly with children. The rotating features collections and the vast collection warrant many visits. And stay for brunch or lunch; its a treat!

For most travelers, Honolulu is synonymous with beaches. But it also holds cultural treasures, first and foremost the Honolulu Museum of Art. Housed in a beautiful building in downtown Honolulu, this collection skillfully blends Hawaii’s unique arts and art history with both Asian and European traditions. Hawaii’s unique culture and East-West linkages spring to life. Plus the lunch in their garden cafe is excellent. Not to be missed.

Fascinating place to visit even though we were using it as a pick up point for the shuttle to Doris Dukes. Very helpful staff at reception and beyond. Multicultural historic pieces of art in so many formats. It was quite a surprise to see the variety on display considering how remote from some of the sources Hawaii is. Well worth a visit because there is so much to see.

Lovely thing to do in Honolulu when you are ready for some culture instead of sun and beach. It is bigger on the inside than the outside. Popular but not crowded. Different cultures to explore including Hawaiian. Things are very nicely displayed and labeled. We also ate brunch here which was pretty good. A few outdoor courtyards too.

If you are interested in art, I can highly recommend a visit as it contains art all over the world, Hawaii and the old European masters
