How can I sell or donate a piece of art to the museum?
The museum is always interested in adding new objects to its collection. The first step is to mail or email color photographs of the art objects accompanied by detailed descriptions of the objects and how they were obtained. It is also helpful to include a brief statement regarding why you would like the Honolulu Museum of Art to consider them for acquisition to the museum.
Please email Cori Mackie at cmackie@honolulumuseum.org for more information.
After receiving your information, a representative of the curatorial department will determine if the items are appropriate for addition to the museum’s collection. If it is determined to be something the museum should pursue, a representative from the curatorial department will contact you about our accession policy
