Experience the Magic
Historical Elegance
The Inspiration Hawai’i Museum is on the ground floor of the historic old Hawaiian Electric building constructed in 1927. The architectural style with archway entrances and interior fixtures are nearly one hundred years old.
It is important to highlight the unique experience of hosting an event at the Inspiration Hawai’i Museum. With very few grand historic buildings remaining in downtown Honolulu, our venue offers a truly special atmosphere. The chandeliers and overall ambiance of the museum will undoubtedly make your guests feel majestic.
Special Events
The museum is not yet open to the public. While we build our exhibits,
we are offering outside events the opportunity to enjoy our historical building and give their guests a sneak-peak at our new museum.
