Damien Museum

In Remembrance of Father Damien


Expert Pick Off The Beaten Path

Address:
130 Ohua Ave
Honolulu, HI 96815

Description

Although small, this museum is bursting with interesting artifacts and other items relating to the life of Father Damien, a Belgian priest who worked and lived with people with Hansen's Disease (then called leprosy) in the late 1800s. There are many displays in the museum that tell the story of Father Damien and his work, and there is also a great video about him that's worth watching. You'll also get to see some of his personal items, such as his prayer books, as well as old photographs and other documents. The museum is tucked away behind St. Augustine's Church, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled if you're looking for it.
