Check out the new exhibit at the Museum commemorating the very beginnings of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in 1889.¹ Take your parents, and aunties and uncles, and your children, and take a walk with them into the past. Perhaps it will help in bringing back to life family stories! History is cool.

Bishop Museum Change Exhibit

.

In this exhibit, explore how everyday life in Hawai‘i has changed since Bishop Museum was founded in 1889. Some changes have been for the worse and some for the better, and the future holds still more changes that will inevitably transform this place and the people who call it home. [For more, see here at the Bishop Museum page.]

¹The Museum however did not open to the public until 1891.

Transfer of treasures of the National Museum to the Bishop Museum, 1891.

SLIPPING AWAY.

Barring any obstacles, during some of the days of this week, the location of the artifacts housed in the National Museum Office at Aliiolani Hale will be transferred to the Bishop Museum Office at Kamehameha School, to go under the care of Prof. W. S. Brigham of the Bishop Museum.

If the artifacts of the Nation are moved to their intended new nest, then that office will be open for other Government Agencies, like the Department of Land Survey, and its space will become an office for the two houses, and that is great because it is directly adjacent to the Attorney General’s Office; but this all depends on the decision of the one who sings.

[On her 183rd birthday, here is a mele inoa for the princess found in of all places, a story about Kamapuaa. There is a scene where Kamapuaa is coming upon Puu o Kapolei, and the writer interjects: this is the hill about which goes the mele inoa for the deceased princess Pauahi.
