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 began as a hotel funded after John Mott-Smith and Charles Coffin Harris persuaded the legislature under King Kamehameha V; it opened in 1872. Converted into an armed services YMCA in 1917 and used by the military in World War I, the termite-infested structure was demolished in 1926. Lincoln Rogers of Emory & Webb designed the Spanish Mission-style replacement, inaugurated on 16 March 1928. The art museum opened on 1 November 2002.

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 occupies the second floor of the No. 1 Capitol District Building at 250 South Hotel Street, across Richards Street from the Hawaii State Capitol. It is open daily from 10:00 to 16:00, and admission is free at all times. Three galleries hold the displays.

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.
