The Honolulu Museum of Art is a beautiful place to view amazing collections of art . From Hawaiian artifacts to world masters. You will love the architecture of the museum. The gift shop is excellent!

Great place to check out if you’re in Honolulu!Spent a couple of hours here with my partner, took some great photos and enjoy some great art.They also serve food and drinks as well..

Great location great place to view a awesome collection and arrangements of art. Great staff professional and knowledgeable. Its very beautiful to create something new.

I loved the this museum. The open air courtyards are picturesque, each one inspired by a different location. There are many interesting exhibits but the tour of the Doris Duke museum of Islamic art takes the crown. Worth your time.

The Government Museum and Art Gallery is one of the most visit places. The building is beautifully designed and the art collection on display is also very good with a wide variety of artists and styles displayed.

Wonderful museum! Lots to see and great collections. Wonderful Café! Delicious food! Beautiful place to hangout, read, sip some tea or coffee and enjoy the court yards. Great place dont miss it!

I thought there would be more original stuff. There was a neat calligraphy ink exhibit, but there were a lot of things that were stylized and not the real thing...like a digital print. I reckon its better than nothing because I would never google these art pieces and it exposes people to these artists, but I was bummed. They do have rotating exhibits though. Their Art After Dark is fun. Lately its gotten rowdier though.

I love this place! Great atmosphere, a real variety of art. The coffee bar is excellent

Small but good collection overall. Surprised at how little indigenous art in the collection. Further evidence of how we, the majority suppress the indigenous population of America.

Great museum, it has a lots rich artifacts and paintings, must visit in person.

Always visit this museum when I’m in HI. Some lovely collections and always seems to have a small but beautifully curated textile exhibit. The food in the cafe is an excellent reason to stop for lunch; it’s great! The museum store has a diverse collection of treasures to choose from, either as a souvenir or gift for loved ones. All in all a world class museum; worth a visit!

You need to see how many different types of art there is in this Museum. Do people create art!!!!! Through there own experiences? Is it through our tragedys? The amount of admission was 20$ Then the sky is the limit the second you see the coffee shop. I had a very tasty Mocha triple shots of course. The moment I entered the Museum of amazing culture and works of art I met the very friendly and helpful staff Ive ever had the privilege to meet. No visitor will ever leave the Museum without getting all their questions answered and of course a very helpful map. I still managed to get lost on The way out. I took 32 photos of the museum 1 in every exhibit. If your in the area and want to caught up in our Unique culture differences this is a must see.

Starting point of the tour of the breathtaking Shangri-La Museum of Islamic Art and Culture, former home of the late Doris Duke.

Incredible, you should go if you have the opportunity. Feel like I should elaborate about this incredible comment. Let me start with not only do they have incredible portraits, pictures and sculptures. Also have an excellent movie selection and offered twice out of the month free admission.

A real gem! So much amazing artwork! From early Roman to contemporary and all the good stuff in between!! The docents are knowledgeable and articulate - I learned so much and it just felt like a pleasant conversation. In addition to the art (Western, Asian from East to South and other cultures), the building is gorgeous with lots of little garden nooks. A coffee shop, gift shop and cafe round it all off. The perfect place to spend a rainy day.

Surprising number of impressionist and rococo works. The Sunday Brunch is very good. Traditional eggs Benedict comes with a salad with walnuts. Good coffee.

Great day to spend time to brush up on your art and artifacts history. To see amazing artwork from different cultures and time period throughout the history of the world. Beautiful place to come to explore history of the arts and dine on delicious food at their cafe. Wonderful for all ages.

Went to the Museum during our trip to Hawaii. Our hotel, Alohilani (also fantastic) provides free entry to the museum with room key. My husband and I had a great afternoon exploring the exhibits in the outdoor museum. There was a new exhibit highlighting African American artists, which was being led by one of the museums educators, which was informative and fun. There is a yummy little cafe and a cute coffee shop in case you need a snack!

This place is worth the stop if you are an art lover. Learn about oceanic artwork from the past, as well as Hawaii’s modern artists showcasing their talents. Cafe is available to eat a bite, and staff is friendly. You will have to check in your bags and backpacks, but it’s free!

Fantastic art!! Really great museum, the layout is very nice and I love the open air concept of the place. The free bus to the Spaulding House wasnt running because a dump truck was in the way. Normal inconveniences of city life.

Great place for brunch, art, and contemplation. Art After Dark - held once a month - is great for socializing and people watching. Get there early. The place gets packed.

The museum was our first stop before our tour of the Shangri La house so we walked around some of the exhibits. A lot of great pieces, statues, carvings, pottery, and more. It doesnt take long to walk from room to room. Im not sure you can spend more then a few hours here unless you are a die hard or specifically interested in something they have on display so check with them to see what is on display. The facility is nice, clean and well kept and worth a look for sure.

This place was very nice. I had been there years ago for a school field trip and the exhibits are much different. Its very peaceful and there is alot to admire. It was the first time for my son to see it and he really enjoyed it.

Unique art and beautiful, with unique statues, and chairs and great paintings, worth your time and money

We had a great time on a rainy day excursion to the Honolulu Museum of Art. The Hawaiian and East Asian collections were worth the trip, housed in beautifully designed buildings. The Cafe was delightful. Everything we ordered was A+. We will go again if we get an opportunity!

I always love this little but so beautiful museum. This year first time I went for Hollowing Party. What a great idea! See the art and have fun!

Very nice smallish thematically divided art gallery. Pleasant environment with courtyards (none Pacific Island themed). Coverage of Hawaiian indigenous culture somewhat disappointing.

So beautiful. Dont let th outside fool you. Th staff is amazing.

A pleasant museum to visit with nice cafes in courtyards.Several small exhibits are not overwhelming for amateurs like myself.

The museum was great. Ordered Sunday Brunch at cafe - vegetarian eggs Benedict. Beautiful plate arrived but both the eggs and sauce were not even warm much less hot. Obviously they had been sitting quite a while before being served. So very disappointed. Since I was alone and they didn’t really seem to want to wait on me anyway I just ate them.

The Museum was really great and so much interesting things to discover. It is definitely worth spending a few hours here.

Easily spend hours here, the Ho‘oulu Hawai‘i: The King Kalākaua Era exhibition is amazing and eye opening.

Had a good afternoon at the gallery. Some interesting pieces of European and Asian art along with Hawaiian/Pacific artefacts. Entry fee was high $20 but a good place to visit for a peaceful afternoon after the rush of Waikiki

Absolutely beautiful, airy buildings and courtyards; interesting and eclectic Asian art collections; lovely tropical-themed ikebana tucked in various corners; friendly staff. Cafe is ridiculously pricey but the food is quite good. A peaceful, rejuvenating way to spend a day in Honolulu, far from the crowds. One of the nicest spots in the islands, in my view.

Nice layout and friendly staff. Good collection of OKeefes along with a Picasso, Matisse and a Monet. Beautiful space! Local art is impressive. I would definitely go back.

Yall are absolute ballers! I went because I had to for a class, so I went in dancing around with Wolf Parade in. The art itself was cool, especially the 21st-century women temporary exhibit you had! As a girl and an artist, it was really interesting to see what others put out. The lavender soda from the coffee shop is phenomenal. I hear you make the syrup fresh.

This museum is impressive to say the least. Ive been to Oahu countless times and Ive never come here, but the last trip I finally did, and it was well worth it. The collections they have from different parts of the world are astounding. I was shocked to see so many pieces of art in one place.The Asian collection alone is worth it to go and see. They also have some pretty famous paintings from some pretty famous artists that I did not expect to see there at all. This is a must visit place in Honolulu if youre here on vacation!

Great museum with great guides! Can be a little busy. Has a great cafe inside which the prices are quite reasonable. Extremely recommended.

This museum has an impressive collection of art. The variety of art covers several regions all over the world - but the sections covering Asia are especially thorough. There are also temporary exhibits that are interesting. When you need refreshments, their cafe does an incredible job. This museum has always been one of my favorites.

Fantastic museum. A must see. The building is amazing. It represents the Hawaiian art and how diverse it is. The cafe restaurant serves amazing food and the service is top notch. Try to go the earliest you can cause it gets busy after 1.

Well worth seeing, great artwork from the rich Hawaiian history and from around the world. Employees are very nice in helping you guide around.

We loved our time here. Interesting pieces of work from all over the world and a lovely court yard in every corner of the building. They have a cafe where you can sit and have coffee while you work or study, and the environment is very serene.

Beautiful collections of art from different parts of the world. My favourite has been Japanese and art from Hawaii. Nice concise descriptions of artists and the story behind individual pieces. Nicely designed building with five beautiful courtyards to sit and relax, each one of different theme. Nicely located next to thomas square where i could wait as museum had special event at the time (state visit of prince and princess of Japan). Would enjoy glass of wine if they have in cafe (reataurant has been closed for visitor).

Lovely place to visit, great selection of art to view. The masks were particularly good!

Love the free shuttle and the included admission to Spalding House.Surprised by how big this place was! Its beautiful too. Got a little lost, but then I was back on track after looking at one of their handy maps that are placed around.Lovely staff!Wonderful restrooms.

We went to the cafe on a break from work. You can get a pass from the museum if you are only going to eat. The atmosphere is beautifully and the food was delicious.

Great art and lots of history within these walls. A must visit for all lovers of history and art.

Wonderful exhibits! Lots to see and a wonderful Cafe and coffee bar!

Great smaller sized museum. I love how its part outdoors because you can actually do that in Hawaii. Theres a room with a Gauguin and Monet and etc. to appreciate as well.

Very nice staff and great variety of art from different cultures and times.

I was pleasantly surprised with all the different collections. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

Beautiful collection of art from around the world.

Quiet well-lit galleries full of wonderful art collections, eclectic art book store & great outdoor courtyards of open spaces to rest or photo oops. The ikebana florals at entrance are always magnificent. Wonderful cafe & DD theater are cherries on top !

Amazing!

Very nice museum with small, but beautiful collection. Look for family Sundays - they have a bunch of activities for kids. The bad thing - the cafe closes very early, nothing to eat after 2 pm.

Such a wonderful museum covering a variety of art history as well as local Hawaiian history.

Well worth the price of admission. A very diverse collection of art.

This is a great museum. Each time i see something that wasnt seen the time prior. A definite should see! Amazing art, artifacts and history. Very Well organized with s nice flow. The Doris Day trip is also well worth the time. The land and property are breathtaking!

I was genuinely impressed by the exhibits. You wouldnt think youd have such a diverse collection in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but alas, you do. And the place is so much bigger than it looks like from the outside. You could easily spend a few hours here perusing the art. Stop by the cafe too for a nice bite to eat/something to nosh on.

So fun and interesting, loved exploring the cultures

Its an experience you cant leave out if you love to see up and coming art work. Enjoyable to study and reminis while gazing into the minds of others.

Super nice artifacts and paintings. Every third sunday is free thanks to Bank of Hawaii. Such a great day to take advantage of.

Fundamental work and collections!

Art after dark. Was more like a night club but hey I aint complaining... Nice art, and everyone dressed to impress. Art everywhere! Also found a Monet which was unexpectedly awesome ...

Awesome. I dont know why I didnt get a yearly membership sooner. Theyve got tons of events, a cafe worth eating at, and art worth looking at... Overall, an amazing place to spend a day or so a month.

The Honolulu Museum of Art is considered a small museum, but I was surprised by how deep it’s collection is. Definitely one of the best things to do in Honolulu.

Lovely setting in which to spend a leisurely afternoon with old friends! Escape the heat, learn stuff, talk. Heaven!

The Islamic or middle eastern influences were quite a great addition to the entire experience.Not busy, has parking around it but you’ll have to circle around the place for a bit.

Fantastic! Well worth multiple visits. Hard to see everything in one day. Even harder to appreciate it all in a single day.

What a gem! Great rainy day activity. Diverse collection from ancient to contemporary, great museum shop. Park @ Blaisdell on King St.

Excellent collection of art and History. A great place for learning and looking

Very nice museum. I stopped in to eat lunch at the museums cafe and decided to look at the exhibits afterwards. The food was good and the art is interesting. A few of the exhibits were a little underrepresented but the museum is a good place to spend the hot hours of the day.

Li Huayis exhibition is there now. There are great scrolls that take you to the different world.

Restaurant is excellent, and open to public even if youre not visiting the museum. Special exhibit on African-American artists.

Wonderful in every way! From staff to the exhibits to the facilities, everything was terrific! Many truly memorable works of art too. My favorite is attached...

Convenient, well maintained, easy to get to. Very up close & personal museum atmosphere, more itimate than other museums ive been in.

The building for the Museum was built in 1928 and is the former Armed Services YMCA Building. It is a surprisingly good Art Museum that features interesting modern art with a focus on Hawaiian. There is a room set aside for kids (great idea). And it is Free! Take a wander through it. The curation and arrangement of art in the rooms lent context and surprise. There is a nice gift shop and a small cafe on the ground floor.

This was a family free fun day out and was bith amazing for the kids and myself.i was ecstatic to see the art work i had admired my entire life and the children learnt the appreciation of Art and arts and craft. Thank youwell worth the trip

I love all the courtyards. The art is pretty nice as well.

Really a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The collection is far more extensive than I had expected, which means I need to go back soon. Oh, and the restaurant was very impressive. Excellent food AND service!

This place rocks. The cafe is delicious, best tomatoes Ive had on the island as well as the salad greens. Fish was cooked perfectly, a must try if youre already in the museum.

A great window for the Polynesian culture. Best in door activity on the island so if its raining you probably want to go there

My friend and I went today and had lunch. Great food!Then we visited the rooms surrounding the Mediterranean Courtyard. Loved the Impressionist art!!. We spent a lot of time there and will have to go back to see more... maybe a few more times!

Its been a minute since Ive stopped here but Ive always enjoyed coming to this place. The art after dark events are so much fun but also just stopping by to see the exhibits are fun. Parking is a little difficult but worth it. Also, if you are curious about something just ask, they are always very helpful.

Because of all the smaller rooms I was able to enjoy a quiet art experience

A really good teaching museum with art from all over Asia, ancient to modern, and one of each of many old masters. Worth the time and cost

I love this place. I don’t even like going to art galleries. I feel like this is for a younger crowd.

I arrived in a bad mood but left with a humbling sense of awe and inspiration. Art can change a person and this museum is full of priceless wonders from nearly every corner of the world. I now visit every chance I get.

Lovely. This place is very nice. Im going to comeback one more time...

Art After Dark. Its gotten seriously popular!Now that I understand more about fine art Ive come to realize that Hawaii has a some of the major arts assembled here. Gaugin, Renoir, Calder, on and on and on.One day I visited another museum on the continent and at the end of the featured exhibit I find out that it was on loan from the Honolulu Museum.Membership is very reasonable. Join and discover. Impress your friend how mature youve become...just kidding. Youll love it.

The museum was our first stop before our tour of the Shangri La house so we walked around some of the exhibits. A lot of great pieces, statues, carvings, pottery, and more. It doesnt take long to walk from room to room. Im not sure you can spend more then a few hours here unless you are a die hard or specifically interested in something they have on display so check with them to see what is on display. The facility is nice, clean and well kept and worth a look for sure.

Great museum! Great art!

Excellent museum as stand alone visit, we combined with trip to Shangri La that made experience even better. On site Cafe serves delicious food too.

Lovely layout and a good, varied collection of works!

An incredible museum, I think its the favorite one I have been to. Very organized, and has a lot of works! Great for Asian and Pacific Arts! I was amazed at all the cool statues and pretty complete works of art, instead of just small pot shards for instance. I think this museum is highly underrated, I highly recommend making a stop here! Cost is about $20 per person for visitors to Hawaii, but well worth the cost in my opinion!

Really nice exhibits. I mean I love museums and this was no exception.

This museum brings in some good collections. I pop in a couple times a year to check them out.

Excellent selection of pieces, beautifully displayed, fabulous special exhibit, delicious lunch in a lovely setting.

I love the museum and art after dark bit the last time I went with a date these 2 gentlemen signaled out me and my date telling is that it was full but they werent making a formal announcement to the rest of the people in line. We watched from a far for a bit and they seemed to be singeling out all the less than attractive people and letting the better looking people stay in line. Ugly people have feelings too! So how about turning everyone away when an event is full and not just us eyesores?

I was sent here by a professor for academic research for my first visit. I arrived in a bad mood but left with a humbling sense of awe and inspiration. Art can change a person and this museum is full of priceless wonders from nearly every corner of the world. I now visit every chance I get.
