Honolulu Museum of Art

#freemuseumdays Art lovers will find themselves enthralled by notable masterpieces: Monet’s water lilies, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Rodin, and American portraits by Sargent and Copley share space with rich Asian holdings like Hokusai prints, Japanese Buddhist sculptures, and Chinese ceramics . The museum also champions Hawaiian artistry through rotating exhibitions and initiatives like the biennial Catharine E. B. Cox Award, which spotlights Hawai‘i-based artists and includes solo exhibitions at HoMA . The facilities are well-appointed: the on-site café serves quality food in a relaxing setting adjacent to water features, and the gift shop offers unique collectibles . The Doris Duke Theatre—a 280-seat art house—hosts regular film screenings, concerts, and lectures, enhancing the museum’s cultural depth . Accessibility is generally good, though some wheelchair users note that parking and entry paths could be better signed . HoMA opens Wednesday through Sunday (closing Monday and Tuesday), with extended hours until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays
