Hawaiʻi Museum Directory Published

The Hawai'i Museums Association (HMA), in observance of its 20th year, has published an is-land-by-island directory and guide to information about 60 museums and similar institutions in Hawai'i. Authors Agnes C. Conrad and Barbara E. Dunn, who compiled the directory for HMA, say it is intended to be an information resource and guide to museums in Hawai'i that have permanent exhibits of "something to see," and that are open to the public on a regular basis. The oldest museum listed is Bishop Museum, founded in 1889, and among the newest to open in 1988 are Senator Fong's Plantation and Gardens in Kahalu'u and the Hawai'i Maritime Center (see article this issue). The directory listings are capsule summaries of eaeh museum, cultural center, public garden, etc. including mailing address, telephone number, hours and admission fees, focusofcollections, and type of tours and programs available. Copies are available at museum shops or they may be ordered from the Hawai'i Museums Association for $4 including postage. Address is P.O. Box 4125, Honolulu, HI 96812.
