The museum has also been hailed as one of the leading research institutes in the country.

Father Damien Museum
Father Damien arrived from Belgium in 1860 to care for the Native Hawaiians who had contracted the diseases brought by the settlers. His most exceptional works are associated with the leper colonies on the island of Molokai . With the bustle of people on Waikiki Beach, the museum is hidden in a church that is a little difficult to find.
Arizona Memorial and the Missouri
Even after decades there are still oil leaks from the battleship Arizona sunk in the Battle of Pearl Harbor. Inside the museum there is a wall with the names of all those who died. It shares the same port with the battleship Missouri, where the declaration of peace was finally signed.
