New museum to be unveiled at HVNP

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park will unveil a new museum that will house items from the park’s vast museum collection of more than 1.5 million objects Tuesday evening.

HVNP Chief of Cultural Resources Laura Carter Schuster will reveal the history and highlights of this vast collection, and plans for exhibiting the objects in the original 1932 park Administration Building, formally a lodging facility called the Ohia Wing, at 7 p.m. in the Kilauea Visitor Center Auditorium.

This After Dark in the Park presentation is free, however, a suggested $2 donation supports park educational programs.
