Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum is pleased to present two cultural programs that are free to the general public. While both provide limited in-person attendance, they are also accessible via the Museum’s YouTube Channel.

Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum celebrates its exhibition, Tatau: Marks of Polynesia with a Closing Festival this Saturday, July 2, 2022 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

The exhibition will use a variety of media including images, video, and interactives to tell stories of taxonomy and the people who do taxonomic work.

Our “Taxonomy: Our Lives Depend On It” exhibition, hosted from July 23, 2022, to February 19, 2023, focused on the critical role of taxonomy in identifying and naming plants and animals, emphasizing its impact on conservation, agriculture, medicine, and more. This interactive multimedia exhibition showcased our extensive natural sciences collection, which includes over 20 million specimens, many of which are normally not accessible to the public.

Bishop Museum has introduced Digital Membership Cards, offering a new level of convenience and accessibility for its members. Starting in March 2022, all active members with an email address on file were sent a launch email containing a link to their digital membership card. Going forward, new and renewing members will be automatically enrolled to receive their digital cards via email immediately after their membership transaction is completed, whether online, at the Admission Desk, or following the processing of a mailed check. This initiative simplifies access to the museum’s rich offerings and streamlines the membership experience.

Our “The Healer Stones of Kapaemahu” exhibition delved into the cultural and spiritual significance of four ancient stones on Waikīkī Beach, associated with māhū healers who brought their arts from Tahiti. The exhibit featured multimedia presentations, including an animated film and projections, to bring the story of these stones and their long-hidden history to life.

HT22, hosted by the Bishop Museum, was a landmark exhibition featuring 43 artists and collectives from Hawaiʻi, the Asia-Pacific region, and beyond, running from February 18 to May 8, 2022. This extensive showcase explored critical themes such as history, place, social activism, environmental change, and Indigenous knowledge, set against Hawaiʻi’s unique position at the crossroads of Asia-Pacific and Oceania. As the largest periodic exhibition of contemporary art in Hawai‘i, HT22 was spread across seven venues on Oʻahu, offering a diverse and immersive experience into contemporary artistic expressions and dialogues within the Pacific context.
