Welcome to The Contemporary Museum Web site.
The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, is the only museum in the state of Hawaii devoted exclusively to contemporary art. TCM provides an accessible forum for provocative, dynamic forms of visual art, offering interaction with art and artists in a unique Island environment. TCM presents its innovative exhibition and educational programs at two venues: in residential Honolulu at the historic Cooke-Spalding house, and downtown at First Hawaiian Center.
TCM's mission is to develop public appreciation and understanding of contemporary art through exhibition and education programs, through the collection and preservation of art since 1940, and to preserve and maintain the historic Cooke-Spalding, Cooke-Petersen, and Cooke-Johnson residences and surrounding gardens for the enjoyment and enrichment of Hawaii's residents and visitors.
Visiting the Contemporary Cafe? Reservations are recommended - (808) 523-3362.
