Mountain View in Hawaii County, Hawaii — Hawaiian Island Archipelago (Pacific Ocean)
The 'Ōhi'a Wing will soon be home to the park's collection of artwork and artifacts
Change is once again in the wind for the 'Ōhi'a Wing. The park plans to rehabilitate the interior to preserve, protect and feature the park's museum collection which includes artwork and photographs, natural history specimens, and artifacts.
The park houses a notable collection of volcano-inspired artworks. Since 1939, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has amassed a significant art collection, including many works from the Volcano School (1880-1890) artists. This collection offers a historical perspective of each artist's interpretation of Kīluea. For the first time, these celebrated pieces will be exhibited in an environment that ensures their preservation and security for future generations, and availability for public enjoyment.
Erected by National Park Service, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
