        Hey, MM!

        I've got a friend who is working on a Hawaiian song collection, and a couple of musicians have encouraged him to donate a copy to the Bishop Museum.

        Any idea who would be best for him to contact? Mahalo!

              E Kū Ana Ka Paia: Unification, Responsibility and the Kū Images
              June 5 through October 4, 2010, Hawaiian Hall

              This summer, two of the three largest and most famous Kū images will be reunited: the grand temple image from Bishop Museum’s collections and another from the British Museum in London. This exhibition will mark the first time the British Museum Kū has returned to Hawai‘i since its departure over 170 ago, and will coincide with the bicentennial commemoration of the unification of the Hawaiian Islands by Kamehameha I. The two images will be on display during the season of Kauwela, a time traditionally associated with Kū. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience these two incredible images.

                I decided to share this... shhhh.

                Tonight was the fourth separate time that LOST has filmed at the Bishop Museum.
                First was a bridge scene in London.
                Second was the Red Square in Russia.
                Third was a concert at Golden State Museum of Natural History.
                Tonight they filmed in the Long Gallery(which is just within the main gallery doors and directly to the right, Coming soon the MAMo Awards pieces).

                  They're here... One image from the British Museum and another from the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. along with the one that resides at the Bishop Museum. Making 3 all together.

                    Re: Bishop Museum Events & Exhibits

                    Went, pretty cool. The main room of the museum/Hawaiian exibit after being refurbished looks awesome, and the Ku together was spectacular in it's own understated way.
                    Interesting that they have little clue as to the age of these pieces, and rather sickening that the Peabody Ku had portions of it broken off to fit in a box when transporting it originally long ago, and who knows if they even kept those parts... The thinking on this one is that it may have been an unfinished carving when the decree came to destroy them all, and thus probably the youngest. The British Ku is awesome, being 99% still intact, more robust and detailed than the others, and in virtually pristine condition. Having them displayed so they can be viewed at almost any angle really gave a great perspective. Didn't get any 'vibe' from them tho, but another piece, a foot high stone figure found on Necker island definitely gave off some.
                    The rest of the Hawaiian exibit is equally enjoyable, with some great displays.
                    The only downer was that there isn't that much else to see at the Bishop Museum, at least presently on display. A short but sweet visit.

                      "The main room of the museum/Hawaiian exhibit after being refurbished looks awesome, and the Ku together was spectacular in it's own understated way."
                      It took 3 years. We're talking wiring, fixtures, case work, etc. Now it actually looks closer to original. After removing many coats of paint.

                      "Interesting that they have little clue as to the age of these pieces, and rather sickening that the Peabody Ku had portions of it broken off to fit in a box when transporting it originally long ago, and who knows if they even kept those parts...

                      The British Ku is awesome, being 99% still intact, more robust and detailed than the others, and in virtually pristine condition.It's wonderful!

                          Bishop Museum opened a new exhibit of sorts Thursday — a 10,800-square-foot photovoltaic system.

                          The system's primary purpose is to generate electricity at a savings compared with traditional utility power, but some of the 720 solar panels also will be integrated with museum educational programs tied to harnessing nature's energy...

                            Restore - Re-Launch - Hawai‘iloa | Celebrate Celestial Navigation
                            June 26, 2011
                            4:30 - 7:00 p.m.
                            The Great Lawn, Bishop Museum
                            Event Admission: $20 General; $15 Bishop Museum members
                            Celestial Navigation Event + Event Admission: $35 General; $30 Bishop Museum members


                            Bring family, friends, and neighbors to Bishop Museum for The Friends of Hokule’a and Hawai’iloa’s one-time, don’t-miss back-yard-party celebration and fundraiser to help restore and relaunch Hawai‘iloa, Hawai‘i’s only double-hulled canoe constructed entirely of traditional materials.

                            ISLAND BACKYARD PARTY
                            Like the very best island backyard party, there will be plenty of food and music, and of course, hula. According to Kumu hula Mapuana de Silva, this will be a first-ever event as she and the dancers of Halau Mohala ‘Ilima take the stage, joined by Maelia Loebenstein Carter and Ka Pa Hula o Kauanoe o Wa’ahila, Michael Pili Pang and Halau Hula Ka No’eau, and Vicky Holt Takamine and Pua Ali’i ‘Ilima. In this one-of-a-kind hula celebration, these four kumu hula and their halau will present hula kahiko and hula ‘auana individually, in small groups and en masse to raise funds for this worthy cause.

                            TRY YOUR HAND AT LASHING
                            Touch, feel, and even try your hand at lashing with the crew of Hokule’a as they perfect skills for their around-the-world journey by relashing Hawai‘iloa.

                            CELEBRATE CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
                            Prior to the main event, guests can also enjoy a special lecture and interactive Pacific navigation activity with Chad Baybayan, the Navigator in Residence at the Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo. Program starts at 3:30 p.m. Special ticket required. Hurry! Space is limited for this exciting activity.

                            RESTORE AND RELAUNCH HAWAI‘ILOA
                            Built in the record time of two years and launched in 1993, Hawai’iloa voyaged 6,000 miles to Tahiti and throughout French Polynesia to the Marquesas and back. Over the years, weather and exposure took a toll. The Hawai’iloa was disassembled and stored in pieces. The challenge now is to put the giant jigsaw puzzle of canoe parts together. Well into the process of restoration, the Friends are fund raising and friend-raising in a race to complete and re-launch the canoe. As the Hokule’a embarks on a four year journey around the globe, Hawai’iloa will re-launch and be the touch-stone for the Hawaiian islands during the Hokule’a’s voyage.

                            Please Note: No coolers or outside food or beverage allowed. Lawn chairs must be low profile. Admission tickets are nonrefundable.

                            I scored! Don't have to work this event so will attend and enjoy instead.
                            Hope to see you there!

                              The Hawai'iloa's construction began in 1991 at the Bishop Museum's Hale Wa'a.
                              http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/hawaiian/.../buildloa.html
                              "The canoe hulls were designed by Rudy and Barry Choy and Dick Rhodes. The rest of the canoe was designed by project director Nainoa Thompson, kahuna kalai- wa'a(master canoe carver)Wright Bowman Jr,and Wally Froiseth. Canoe construction was supervised by "Bow." Numerous volunteers worked on the canoe--cutting, shaping, drilling, chiselling, sanding, painting, lashing, etc."

                              And she was first launched in July 1993!

                                A really great quick lesson. Thought provoking and fun.

                                FORGOT TO SAY>>> It was held in the very Hale Wa'a (Boat House) that the two Hawai'iloa hulls were carved in!
