Hawaiian Hall at Bishop Museum  /  Honolulu, Hawaii

Founded in 1889, the Bishop Museum is home to the world’s largest collection of Polynesian cultural and scientific artifacts. We sought to interpret Hawaiian history and culture from a native perspective for the first time in history; to restore and make accessible a historic structure; and to build audience and strengthen community relationships. Hawaiian Hall, 12,000 sf in size, is considered a masterwork of late Victorian museum design. Opened 2008.
