Tips for visitors
Education is the Honolulu Museum of Art's mission. The museum works closely with teachers and schools to make art part of the lives of students. Our goal is to help you make the most of your visit to the Museum.
School tours We offer exciting school tours—many of them free—that support benchmarks in several subjects. Choose from Guided school tours and Self-guided school tours.
Teacher workshops In conjunction with the openings of our special exhibitions, the museum hosts free teacher workshops for all Hawai‘i educators. Workshops include a tour of the exhibition, lectures about the artwork, and an opportunity to share teacher resources and best practices. For information on future teacher workshops, contact

Classroom Poster Project Since 2014, Honolulu Museum of Art educators have collaborated with educators from the Department of Education and Hanahau‘oli School's Professional Development Center to create a series of visual art education posters that are distributed to every DOE school classroom on O‘ahu. The posters serve as an engaging path to the Hawai‘i Common Core Standards. The first poster, featuring Juliette May Fraser's painting Lei Sellers, came out in December 2014 and the final poster in the series was distributed in April 2016. Click each artwork title to see the poster. • View of Honolulu from Punchbowl • Lei Sellers - Additional resources • Study of Hawaiian Fish (image key) - Additional resources • Kolomona: Hawaiian Troubadour - Additional resources • The Lei Maker - Additional resources • Portrait of Iz - Additional resources • The Volcano at Night
