  OVERVIEW  
     
 

The Kamuela Museum is an entirely privately owned museum. For many years the museum was run by Albert Solomon, Jr. and his wife Harriet. Both have passed away in recent years - both in their 90's. The museum contains a truly eclectic assortment of items collected over the years by the Solomons or passed down from their ancestors, which include the founder of the Parker Ranch.

The museum includes six pieces of furniture which were original to the Iolani Palace and which are valued in the millions. Negotiations are ongoing to have these items purchased and returned to the palace. The eclectic collection also includes Hawaiian weapons, furniture pieces, artwork, military and war memorabilia, an early Hawaiian dogtooth death cup, a piece of rope used on the Apollo mission, and ancient artifacts from the royal family. This small private museum has a fascinating collection of artifacts from Hawaii and around the world.

It takes only about an hour to explore tiny Kamuela Museum.
