U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii

The U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii is a military museum in Waikiki that documents the Army's role in the Pacific region. Its collection includes weapons, uniforms, photographs, and documents from various military campaigns and periods.

The site began as Battery DeRussy, a coastal artillery fortification built in 1911 to defend the island. It was later converted into a museum to preserve and share military history with the public.

The museum honors service members from Hawaii who received military decorations and commendations. Visitors can learn about their achievements through photographs and personal items on display.

The museum is easy to reach and laid out in a way that helps visitors move through the galleries logically. Plan enough time to explore the different exhibition areas at a comfortable pace.

The building retains original architectural features from its days as a coastal battery. These defense structures remain visible and form part of the visitor experience throughout the museum.
