Bishop Museum


The Bishop Museum is Hawaii's museum of Natural and Cultural History. It is full of artifacts pertaining not only to the Hawaiian Islands but also other islands in the Pacific. Each island establishes its own society with various crafts, costumes, and traditions. All learned the art of weaving, sewing, and pounding out natural products for use. Many of the tours focused on the "how to" or tools used to make tapas, preserve food, catch fish. Surfing and the development of Waikiki Beach area was also shown in old time movies. All in all it made for an interesting day.
