Honolulu Museum of Art

Honolulu Museum of Art

Conceived as an institution that would make Hawai‘i an even better place to live, the Honolulu Museum of Art’s mission is to showcase the highest quality art from around the world for the benefit of residents and visitors. Since The Contemporary Museum and the Honolulu Academy of Arts joined forces in 2011 to create the Honolulu Museum of Art (HMA), the museum has become better equipped to fulfill this mission. The operational deficit has been reduced by two-thirds without any staff reductions; a new membership program aimed at broadening its audience has increased membership by 146%; and, thanks to support from the Cooke Foundation, the museum is in the process of improving the visitor arrival experience and significantly enhancing landscaping and other visitor amenities. As a direct result of the educational mandate established by its founder, Anna Rice Cooke, the Association of American Museums reports the HMA now reaches more K-12 children than the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art, D.C., combined.
