bishop museum: Questions for Kimo: Where's the best place to learn about the Hawaiian culture...?
- 01/08/09 08:27 AM
Questions for Kimo: Our family is re-locating to Hawaii and we are wondering where's the best place to learn about Hawaiian culture?
In my opinion the best and most family orientated place to learn about Hawaiian culture is the Bishop Museum, located at 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai'i 96817 Phone: 808.847.3511. The Museum is located in Palama just off the Like Like and H1 Highways. It's a little bit out of the way for tourists and new comers but it's well worth the trip for visitors and locals alike.
"The Bishop Museum is the largest museum in the state and the premier natural and cultural history institution … (6 comments)
