Explore the ambiance and activities of this back-to-nature destination and discover a truly unique Hawaiian experience. 4000 ft above the sea, giant tree ferns, lofty ohi'a-lehua trees and fragrant ginger create a lush refreshing appeal in contrast to the primal volcanic land. Temperatures are cooler than are typical of Hawaiian coastal areas. Rainfall is a natural part of the native rainforest with misty rains alternating with clear skies. Hike, bike or drive the CRATER RIM DRIVE in Volcanoes National Park. Be invigorated by its craters, steam vents, lava tubes, and rainforest trails. For the adventurous, the Chain of Craters Road winds down to the coast where vast systems of lava tubes carry active lava flows into the sea, creating the newest land on earth. Another exceptional experience while in the National Park is a visit to the VOLCANO ART CENTER GALLERY , with its collection of fine arts and crafts, available for purchase and displayed in the original historic Volcano House on the edge of Kilauea Caldera. The Volcano Art Center is currently developing an arts and environmental campus on 7 acres of land in Volcano Village. This new facility will expand its already well-established and ongoing programs in visual, literary, and performing arts. These include an acclaimed hula and Hawaiian music series which garnered a prestigious Kihili Award from the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau. The outlying community is a mix of scientists, artists and local entrepreneurs in a village-like town with a variety of restaurants and cafes. The village and its surrounding inhabitants blend almost imperceptibly into the native-forested landscape. The whole area has been designated by the United Nations as an INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE AND HISTORIC SITE. Volcano is a destination in which to relax as well as be active, a place to be awed and slow down, to get in touch with oneself beyond the often busy pace of daily life. Surreal and serene, it is a place which is empowering, enduring and ever-changing. The harmony of man and nature here attracts aware and sensitive individuals whose values show concern for the earth and its remaining places of great natural beauty. "Perhaps this village of 3,600 (inhabitants) can show us how to better tend the land and each other as we move into the new millennium."

Hawaiian shirts (also known

American Textile History Museum - Exhibitions - Let’s Go Hawaiian! > Current Exhibitions > Past Exhibitions > Future Exhibitions January 31, 2004– June 20, 2004 Let’s Go Hawaiian! Hawaiian shirts (also known as Aloha shirts), have become the recognized symbol of this tropical paradise. The bold, colorful patterns illustrate the lifestyle, culture, flowers, foliage and heritage of the Hawaiian Islands. The American Textile History Museum presents a special exhibition, Let’s Go Hawaiian from January to June, 2004. It is a fanciful look at our fascination with Hawaii, its influence on mainstream culture, and a lighthearted exploration of the cult of the Hawaiian shirt. The exhibit tells the story of our enchantment with Waikiki through the exhibition of over 150 shirts from the 1930s through the 60s. The exhibit invites you to step off a cruise ship into a make-believe vacation in paradise. The illusion is supported by tourist memorabilia, maps, tropical scenery, and other artifacts representative of our notions of what Hawaii was and is. From early surfers, cruise ships and the burgeoning tourist trade to Elvis, the Beach Boys and Parrot Heads, the sounds, colors, styles and ethos of ‘Blue Hawaii’ will be resident at ATHM during the run of the special exhibition. Shirt #60 Long sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Green ground with yellow, orange, gray, and black Design: Whole and sliced pineapples Label: “MADE IN HAWAII FOR / The Liberty House / HONOLULU” The Liberty House was one of the oldest and most respected department stores in Hawaii, and they sold shirts produced by local island manufacturers. Shirt #66 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Yellow ground with white, blue, reddish brown Design: Vignettes of people, including hula dancers, ukulele players, surfers, King Kamehameha state; Hawaiian motifs, including flowers, leis, pineapples, palm trees; words, including “OAHU, OLOKAI, HAWAII, WAIKIKI, KAMEHAMEHA, HONOLULU, STATE OF HAWAII” Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Shirt #126 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Brown ground with yellow, blue, green, white, and gray Design: floral background with decorated ukuleles showing divers Label: “MADE IN CALIFORNIA / Westwood Casuals / KLEIN-NORTON CO.” Shirt #197 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Blue ground with orange, yellow, teal, green, brown, black Design: Vignettes of people, including woman with basket of fruit, woman with leis, hula dancers Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Designed by Frank Macintosh for Matson Navigation Company, which operated cruise ships to Hawaii as early as the 1920s and 1930s. Macintosh created designs, including this one, that were originally used for menu covers on Matson ships and later adapted for shirts. Shirt #198 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Brown ground with gray, white, yellow, orange Design: Border print of fighting dragons and tigers Label: “Malihini / MADE IN / HAWAII” Shirt #213 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, plastic buttons Black ground with yellow, green, red Design: Leis No label Designed by John "Keoni" Meigs, one of the foremost Hawaiian shirt designers. Meigs created his own designs, as he did for this shirt, but he also adapted artwork created for other media, including Eugene Savage’s menu designs.
