Visit Honolulu's Museums

OBJECTIVE: The objective is to increase your familiarity with Honolulu's Museums.

INSTRUCTIONS: Visit, explore, and describe two of the following museums (preferably ones to which you have never been or at least not in the past five years).

• Bishop Museum (Bryan's Map 8, F1)
• Honolulu Academy of Art (Bryan's Map 11, B2)
• Contemporary Museum (Bryan's Map 9, F3,4)
• Maritime Center (Bryan's Map 6, C4)
• Hawaii State Art Museum (250 S. Hotel Street)
• Honolulu Police Dept Law Enforcement Museum (801 S. Beretania Street)

THE REPORT: The main part of this is your description of the museums, perhaps with a bit of history, purpose, and collection characterization. It should be a one to two page report with:

• your name, the class, the observation assignment title and the date in the upper right hand corner of the first page.
• A title indicating which Museums
• A paragraph introducing the museums.
• Several paragraphs describing the museums and their collections. You might want to get evaluative near the end: do they meet their purpose?
• A summary paragraph to wrap it all up.
• Stapple your admission stubs/receipts to your report.
