Explore the rich history of Kauai and its indigenous tribes with an educational trip to the Kauai Museum. This local landmark first opened in 1960 with the goal to promote and inspire the local community along with the many visitors Kauai gets each year. The Kauai Museum works diligently to sustain the unique cultures of the island and their place in the contemporary world as it continues to expand. Here is what you can experience with a trip to the Kauai Museum:
Intimate Look into Kauai’s History
The Kauai Museum is not an expansive museum like those you can expect to find in larger cities back on the mainland. Instead, the Kauai Museum is a small yet intimate destination that allows you to explore the rich history of Kauai without large crowds. The staff at the Kauai Museum is available at all of the exhibits to answer any questions you have. Each exhibit includes beautiful displays to show you how the island came to be how it is now. The information on these displays covers ancient times and continues into to the present. The subjects of these displays do not just cover the island’s development but also World War II, missionaries, geography, surfing, and a lot more.
You Will Want More Than One Trip
Most visitors to the Kauai Museum indicate that the museum can be explored in approximately two hours. However, admission covers re-entry for up to seven days, with many visitors taking the time to revisit the museum. There is always something you will miss on the first trip to the Kauai Museum, so make sure to revisit this popular attraction.
