10 Art Galleries in Island of Hawaii That You Shouldn't Miss
Life on the Big Island is a little bit slower… and locals like it that way. The natural beauty and ecological features of the island are a draw for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Test your chutzpah at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to the longest volcanic eruption in recorded history, or climb to the indescribably beautiful summit of Mauna Kea. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more refreshing than a quivering plate of fresh poke, followed by a fruity shave ice.

The art gallery is housed in the original hotel located in Volcano National Park. There is six original hotel rooms which each room is now use for displaying top quality artwork. There was a $2500 (yes..two thousand five hundred) canvas oil which I was impressed with. I believe everything is restored and upkeeped in the original mid 1800’s look...catchment still in use ! Even the small restroom building next door. Living history !
