I've never been to Spalding House, which used to be a separate museum (The Contemporary Museum) until it merged with the Honolulu Academy of Arts (forming today's Honolulu Museum of Art). I'm generally not a big fan of modern art,
SFMoMA excepted, so I hadn't really cared to go. However, they're having their "best items in the whole collection" exhibit there, so that was the plan for today. Spoiler: I should have planned yesterday better and tacked this visit onto that one, as they have shared entrance fees.

| They do have a tasty panini. |
Although the tomatoes weren't great. The peppers were, so they could stay. The tarragon tomato soup was a good addition.
 |
| I did not bother with the gym, because I didn't want to spend forever tearing it down. |
Art.
 |
| I do like things like this. |
Full videos I'm less interested in, but project your video on a tiny scuplture? I'm there.
 |
| More pre-war Japanese art. |
 |
| Me: "Hey, is that Jizo again?" |
Yes. It was.
 |
| The Andes. |
 |
| The Long Rain, which I noticed wasn't in its usual place yesterday. |
And that's kind of it. The exhibit space isn't super large, so there isn't much to see.
 |
| There is a large lawn. |
 |
| With nice views of the city. |
 |
| A tiny gecko. |
 |
| A carved stone |
 |
| A fisheye of the trail through the gardens. |
 |
| Some sculptures. |
It's an ok place, but it feels like I could have done everything as part of yesterday's trip, because it's not really a full afternoon place.
 |
| Even with the butt doors at the entrance. |
 |
| And the this guy in the parking lot. |
Being outside in the garden made me hot and dry, as I wasn't expecting to be outside as part of my museum visit. So I went to get something to fix this.
 |
| Shave ice. Uncle Clay's uses real syrups, not the super fake ones. |
