Interactive exhibits provide the best introduction anywhere to Hawaii’s natural history. The Earth Heritage Gallery features plants, animals, & habitats native to Hawaii; explains Hawaii’s volcanic origins; and has one of the top ten mineral and gem collections in the country. The Island Heritage Gallery explores the many ethnic groups that call Hawaii home. Residents of Hawaii come from around the globe & the blending of their stories & cultures created the diverse community of modern Hawaii.
