Today in Honolulu, we toured the Bishop Museum as a group to learn more about the culture and history of Hawaii and the Pacific. This was my first time ever visiting a museum, and fortunately, the Bishop Museum is the biggest museum in the state of Hawaii. Exploring the museum was an eye-opening experience that made me realize how extraordinary the history, environment, and culture of the Pacific truly is. The picture below was taken inside the Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center, located on the Bishop Museum’s campus. The center contains three floors full of interactive and hands-on exhibits that allow you to experience Hawaii’s natural environment.
