Kauai Museum

Kauai Museum has grown to be a part of the Kauai Island Community with the help of 50 or more volunteers. These volunteers have donated their energy and time to serving the museum and visitors. Each year the museum sees about 40,000 visitors. The museum offers tours and educational programs for 6,000 schools. The museum is dedicated to protecting and preserving Hawaii history.

Exhibits range from aviation to world war history. A current exhibit, as of 2011, is Kauai's Early Aviation History. It explores the 20th century and the race to obtain flight. The exhibit on the World Wars explores the men and women who attempted the impossible for their country.

Kauai Museum has permanent collections too. Some of these collections include items from Kauai and Ni'ihau. Photographs, textiles, artwork, and cultural materials have found their way into the permanent collections.

Visitors who wish to see Kauai Museum should head towards Lihue, around the airport. The address is 4428 Rice Street. The museum often has activities each day. There is a small price for admission that provides access to all galleries and a docent tour. The museum tour is two hours in length for a full exploration.
