The anthropological collection at the Bishop Museum
at 1525 Bernice St (daily 9am-5pm; $15) - well away from
both the ocean and downtown, near the foot of the Likelike
Highway - showcases real Polynesian culture, as opposed to
the fakery of Waikiki.
Three floors of one of Hawaii's oldest houses display
ancient carved stone and wooden images of gods, magnificent
feather leis and cloaks, and a full-sized hale
(traditional hut) brought here from Kauai, in addition to
Japanese samurai armor and a full-size sperm whale hanging
in the central well.
There are also excellent special exhibitions for kids, and a
planetarium. TheBus #2 from Waikiki stops two blocks away on
Kapalama Street.
