Then it was off to Bishop Museum. We both haven't been there in a very long time and was surprised at how big it is, even with one of the main halls closed for renovation. Unfortunately they aren't able to offer the Family Sunday discount due to cuts in their sponsorship, but thank goodness for kama‘aina rates.
The main building is so beautiful, even the bougainvillea (which I really think is one of those "rubbish" plants) were gorgeous!
They have a small contemporary art display where I found Maika‘i Tubbs' artwork the most interesting (birds shaped from melted cassette tapes). Maika‘i states "Recycling and re-purposing things challenge and enable me to problem-solve."
Currently they have an Animation featuring Cartoon Network exhibit which was fun, even the kids weren't that out of control ... no I take that back, there was a group of pre-teens that came in just as we were leaving who were kinda rowdy.
We also visited the science building for the first time. It was fun, more natural science stuff, volcanoes, insects, tidal waves, etc.
All in all, we didn't expect to spend that much time there ... and wouldn't you know it, we were there for over 4 hours! We had to have lunch there because I was hungry and starting to get grumpy. I should have took a picture of our $5 lunch (hot dog, chips and drink).
