Are there still tikis at the Bishop Museum

Pages: 1 7 replies

I was there when there was the tiki exhibition, but that is no longer listed on the site.
Is the orange feathered tiki head still present in the Polynesian Hall?

Chris,

We were just there last month and dont recall seeing that one, but there are still many in the hall.






Mahalo!
I will have to check it out.
It seems that some of the same tikis remain!

Here's a late 1960's article I found in an old "What to do in Hawaii" magazine.

The current photo of the Grand Hall suggests that two of the Tikis remain on permanent display:

Aloha,

Ki'i. Ki'i are on display at the B.P. Bishop. Tiki ARE decorative and served NO religious purpose. Ki'i are relic's invested with prayer and ritual.

Way to bring it. I can't believe I didn't appreciate that distinction sooner.
