The Honolulu Museum of Art is located on Beretania Street in downtown Honolulu. Blake and I were able to go there on Kama'aina Free day, so we didn't have to pay anything to go. Normally it is $10 to visit the museums (with admission you get to visit the Museum of Art and the Spalding House.) I really like art museums so I enjoyed myself. The Hawaiian art section was closed which was disappointing, because it'd be great to see Hawaiian art while in Hawaii. I probably wouldn't recommend going here while on vacation unless art museums are your favorite thing in the world, especially because it'll cost you $10 each.

Our next stop was the Spalding House. It has more contemporary art than the main museum. I'm gonna be honest, this place creeped me out. It had the strangest exhibits and the the freakiest music video I've ever seen (Radiohead's Weird Fishes,) especially the small building that was dark inside except for a few faint red lights and decorations that could have been painted by a child except for the dark creature lurking by the fireplace. But, the weirdness also made it fun and memorable. There is a network of trails behind the house that are fun to explore and really pretty.
