Additional
Information
The Museum's mission and vision, revised and
approved by the Board of Directors in 1999, is as follows:
Our
mission is to record, preserve and tell the stories of
Hawai`i
and the Pacific, inspiring our guests to embrace and experience our
natural and cultural world.
We will tell the full story of Hawai`i
in relationship to its place in the Pacific, and the world, and we
will make
Hawai`i
aware of the world around us. These stories will be told through a
network of public museums and learning centers that provide personal
experiences that are engaging and relevant. To present these
stories, we will use collections, research, information, educational
programs, and publications in collaboration with expertise available
in the community.
Bishop
Museum
will rank with the best museums in the world.
