Health & Safety
Bishop Museum is committed to keeping our campus a safe place to visit and work. As per the State’s continuing guidelines, face masks are now optional but highly encouraged while visiting our museum. Mahalo nui loa for your kōkua.
What we’re doing
We’ve implemented measures to ensure the well-being of our guests and employees:
- We’re recommending that visitors purchase their tickets online to minimize person-to-person contact with our staff.
- Increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting across our campus.
- Installed additional hand sanitizing and outdoor handwashing stations.
- Installed plexiglass shields at our admissions desk and in the Café by Highway Inn counter.
What Visitors Can Do
We’re asking for your kōkua to take the same preventative measures you’d take in any other public space:
- Please stay at home if you’re not feeling well.
- Face masks are optional, but encouraged in our indoor spaces.
- Please follow all Museum health and safety signage and protocols.
- Please wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and use hand sanitizer when handwashing isn’t possible.
Mahalo nui loa for your continued support, and please enjoy your visit to Bishop Museum. We look forward to serving you.
