Why you should go…

Founded in 1922 by Anna Rice Cooke, the Honolulu Museum of Art holds more than 55,000 works in a building designed by Bertram Goodhue, with a large collection of Asian art. Its 32 galleries open onto six courtyards, so you move between art and open air. The HoMA Cafe and shop need no ticket, the Doris Duke Theatre screens films, and the museum runs tours of Shangri La, Doris Duke's estate of Islamic art.
