About Honolulu Museum of Art

Honolulu Museum of Art is Honolulu’s principal public art museum, connecting Hawaiʻi, Asia, the Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. This fast draft is tied to the exact OSM identity already ranked in the Honolulu editorial bundle, so it must not be transferred to a nearby namesake or broader district. The visit matters for the cross-cultural collection and presentation of Asian, Pacific, Hawaiian, and Western works within one institution. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday 10:00–18:00; Friday 10:00–21:00; Monday and Tuesday closed. Closed on New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Yes. Admission is not required for the HoMA Café or HoMA Shop.
