The Work You Don’t See, But We Can’t Do Without
Every exhibition, every event, and every educational moment at Bishop Museum is made possible by a foundation of essential behind-the-scenes work.

From supplies for our buildings and grounds to communications equipment and exhibit installation materials, your contributions allow us to focus more of our resources on what truly matters: serving our community and preserving the cultural and natural heritage of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. When you support the work no one sees, you help make everything else possible.
