    What a FUN experience! Gage was.our glass blowing teacher. He was just the right amount of personable, humorous, helpful, and informative. I made a fish and walked away with a great vacation keepsake, along with a memorable experience. Check out the Staub Gallery in downtown Lahaina too!

    The oldest house still standing on the island, Baldwin Home is a recognizable landmark in the heart of historic Lahaina. The original four-room, single level structure was built by Reverend Ephraim Spaulding between 1834-35 in what was then referred to as the “missionary compound.” This area offered a direct view to the Lahaina landing and roadstead beyond where whaling ships would anchor. Unfortunately, not open when we got to it, but worth a few minutes to look round the outside and read the information board.

    This used to be one of my favorite places. Unfortunately, it burned down along with most of Lahaina. Very sad!

    With a heavy heart filled with so much regret and sorrow, I would like to post a 4-star review on Wo Hing Society Hall, being one of the most surprising hidden gems in Lahaina.

    It felt like just yesterday when I visited this place in February 2023. It was a very small museum, but it was filled with interesting relics and antiquities. Among others, a jade belt, and a scroll of declarations called “The Fundamentals of National Reconstruction”, signed off by Dr. Sun Yat-Sin.

    I was especially taken to see a few Sanxingdui relics, including one of its signature bronze masks that shocked the archaeological world when the site was first discovered. I never expected to see them outside China. I was really happy listening to their owner, a senior collector and enthusiast of Chinese ancient civilization, as he shared his knowledge about the stories behind all those ancient treasures.

    It was fascinating to see a kitchen/meeting hall next to it. They looked similar to those set up during the 19th century's Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia too. I remember seeing my grandparents using similar cookware when I was little.

    I wish I had more time at this museum, but our conversation was unfortunately disrupted by my young daughter’s meltdown due to high temperature and humidity.

    Sadly, everything in this museum is now destroyed and burned down into ashes in the fire last month. I don’t even know whether all the volunteers there survive the fire at this point. I feel so regretful that I will never see the museum again.

    So far, I have not found the names of anyone tending to any Lahaina museums/temples on the victim list. They genuinely loved serving and volunteering in these museums. I can only keep them and their families in my prayers...

    I hope sharing of my photos means something here.

    Kush has an eye for metaphor for sure. We have been visiting here and in LaJolla, CA for years. The only thing I could afford was the book and calender. BUT, I did some creative things with those! You will not be disappointed with his style!

    I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and bought pieces I still love today. They are warm and magical. I bought others that were more expensive or supposedly "better" but I don't enjoy them as much. If you are looking for something that feels genuine and authentic, step swing by and take a look. I enjoyed the outdoor setting too. It's casual and easy.

    We were more than surprised to walk into a gallery in a beach town and find a wide collection of art by Dali, Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, Rembrandt, and more! Multiple works from each of these artists and others, more like a museum to us than a showroom. We browsed at our own pace before dinner at a nearby restaurant, and had a nice conversation with the staff. It was really interesting to see such works by masters in such a comfortable and casual setting.

    I'm always a fan of Wyland art galleries. The artwork is very bold and bright, but at this particular location, it was the sculptures and tables that were the most eye catching. In particular, there was a table in which the sculpture of the dolphin was both above and below the table surface and it was magnificent. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, a quick walk around the shop to appreciate the art is good for the creative process.

    I discovered the Daryl Millard Gallery and Daryl works back in Canada on his website while reminiscing about my last try trip to Maui.His artwork and talent is out of this world my friend and I got goosebumps looking at his exceptional paintings.You are transported back to the beach and you smell and hear the tiki torches hiss you feel the trade winds and feel the rhythmic ocean waves lap at your feet.I can’t rave enough!! I’m a new collector and huge fan.Ive purchased 2 paintings one for myself and one for my Mom’s birthday she cried when she recognized the box from the gallery even before he saw her artwork,That Daryl kindly dedicated in Hawaiian for her.That night we kept going back in her bedroom Looking at her new artwork watching the fading daylight change and really compliment the sunset on her new painting it was magical as our sun was setting the setting sun in her beach scene shimmered more and more on the ocean her artwork was alive.Its not just Daryls talent but his energy that breathes life into his canvases.I vow to get back to Maui and stop number one,two and three will be to The Daryl Millard gallery.Vanessa was a delight and a breath of fresh air to speak and visit with I felt like I was talking to an old friend both purchases she’s helped with and made the transactions Effortless and gave me the confidence with such difficult decisions of what was to come home.Not to mention the exceptional frames that Daryl makes to choose from Can’t wait to meet her in person and to walk through Daryls Gallery. The essence of old Hawaii jumps out at you the colours textures and scenes awe and inspires your heart to say “REMEMBER?” And my soul said “I AM BACK “. View look see chat check them out you’ll be so glad you did.For those of us lucky to visit maui/Hawaii you understand the connection and inspiration you feel in paradise when you arrive. For those visiting for the first time Daryls gallery is a must stop 5 times in Maui and I’m sad I didn’t discover him sooner.Daryls art inspires everyone to feel that aloha. A Hui Ho

    The staff was so helpful, friendly and not pushy. They were helpful to me even though we were dressed pretty casual since driving the highway along coast and planning to stop at the beach. Love this photographer’s work!
