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.
.
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.
