Honolulu Museum of Art

The Honolulu Museum of Art (Honolulu Museum of Art) is a large art museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the United States.

Overview

The American Museum Association has accredited the Honolulu Museum of Art, and it is on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. The Hawaiian territory approved it as a museum in 1922, and it opened on April 8, 1927. Anna Rice Cook is the company's founder. The collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art now exceeds 50,000 items, including significant Asian art, American and European paintings and ornaments, Asian textiles, traditional works from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and Hawaiian art. The Academy Arts Center opened in 1990 to provide a programme of studio art classes and workshops, and the Henry R. Rouse Pavilion Complex, with 8,000 square feet (740 m2) of gallery space, the Pavilion Café, The Academy Shop, and Henry R. Rouse Gallery, opened in 2001.

The year was 1853.

Ana was born in 1853 to a missionary family on Oahu and raised on Kauai in a family that valued and loved art. She married Charles Montague Cooke in 1874, and in 1882 she built her home on Beretania Street, directly across from beautiful Thomas Square Park. Her house had an unobstructed view of Diamond Head and Punahou School from the second floor at the time. Cooke's company was so successful that they began collecting art. Ana's first purchase was decorative art for their Beretania home. Yun Yin's younger brother, a furniture maker, sent her pottery and textiles from China. She becomes a major art importer for von Lulu.The Cook family's art collection has grown to fill not only their home, but also the homes of their children. In 1920, she organised these arts for the children of Hawaii with her daughter Alice (Mrs. Philip Spolding), daughter-in-law Dagma (Mrs. Richard Cooke), and art and drama teacher Mrs. Isaac Cox. I began cataloguing and researching these collections in order to present them.
