Tips for Visitors

HoMA Health and Safety Measures

The Honolulu Museum of Art is deeply committed to the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers. We appreciate your support in following these simple safety guidelines.

Temperature screening

Temperature checks will be conducted before entry to the museum for all visitors and staff. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will be asked to return at a later date.

Masks are required

For safety and courtesy, please use face masks while at the museum, with the exception of children 2 years or younger and those with conditions that affect breathing.

Enjoy the art, six feet apart

Please keep a minimum distance of six feet from anyone outside of your party at all times, and be mindful of the maximum occupancy for each gallery.

Gallery and program modifications

Please observe the one-way flow of traffic throughout the galleries, and use the dedicated entrances and exits as marked. Museum capacity will be limited to ensure compliance with CDC guidelines. For the time being, all tours are on hold.

Wash and disinfect your hands

Please wash your hands regularly with soap for at least 20 seconds, and kindly make use of the disinfectant dispensers located throughout the museum. Common areas and high touch surfaces are sanitized regularly throughout the day.

Contactless payment

If you have the choice, please pay for your tickets and other products by card. We strongly urge advance online purchase of timed admission tickets to facilitate a low touch entry to the museum. Holders of annual membership passes and children 18 and under are requested to book a gratis timed admission online and to present corresponding ID upon admission. Timed admission tickets can also be purchased on site subject to their availability. If you are unable to print your tickets at home, they may be scanned directly from your phone.

Personal Items

Outside food, beverages, backpacks, umbrellas, tripods, or bags exceeding 16 inches in diameter are not permitted in the museum. Onsite storage is not available for personal items.

We appreciate your kōkua

To ensure the safety of all visitors, staff, and volunteers, please adhere to all posted social distancing policies and staff or volunteer instruction. Failure to comply with any museum or Health and Safety policies may result in expulsion from museum property in the interest of visitor and staff safety.
