Hawaii State Art Museum, Public art museum in downtown Honolulu, United States.
The Hawaii State Art Museum occupies the second floor of the No. 1 Capitol District Building in downtown Honolulu and displays contemporary artworks by artists connected to Hawaii. The collection features various artistic media and rotating exhibitions that emphasize Pacific and Hawaiian perspectives.
The building was constructed in the early 1900s and has long served as a government office with cultural spaces. The museum was established to gather and display artworks related to Hawaii and support its artistic heritage.
The museum displays works by Hawaiian and Pacific artists, reflecting the creative expressions of the region through contemporary perspectives. Visitors can observe how these artistic voices are presented and what themes resonate in the local art community.
The museum is open Monday through Saturday with no admission cost, making it easy to visit. Wheelchair access is available at the Richards Street entrance, providing convenient arrival for visitors with mobility needs.
Many works from the permanent collection are displayed throughout public buildings across the state rather than in this location. This distributed approach allows more people to encounter the artworks in their everyday surroundings.
