Sealife Resources. Oceanic Art « Collections. Currently not on view. The Hawaiian concept of exquisite perfection is hana no'eau. Hana is activity, and no'eau means clever, skillful, wise and dexterous.

Internationally recognized, the collection originated with the first works donated to the museum in 1799.
