The Masters of Art Have Come to Waikīkī at the New Park West Museum & Gallery
The Michigan-based art dealer has opened a new location at Waikīkī Beach Walk with museum-quality pieces by legendary artists.
Pablo Picasso. Salvador Dali. Rembrandt van Rijn. They’re among the most famous artists of all time—and their works have a new permanent home on Honolulu’s Waikīkī Beach Walk.
Park West Gallery, the world’s largest art dealer, has just opened a brand-new fine art museum and gallery not far from the sun and sand of legendary Waikīkī Beach. Visitors will be treated to an art experience they’ll never forget, which brings together collections from today’s hottest artists and some of the biggest names in art history.

Where else in Honolulu can you browse oil paintings by one of the founders of impressionism, Pierre-Auguste Renoir? Or get up close to an original ceramic work created by Picasso? (Park West has the largest selection of Picasso’s ceramics on display anywhere on the planet.)
“Oʻahu is one of the most beautiful places on Earth,” says John Block, Park West’s executive vice president. “So it made sense to us to bring some of the world’s greatest works of art to this amazing island. This is a place that appreciates beauty.”
The art dealer is making it easy for visitors to appreciate that beauty. The museum and gallery are open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and admission is free.
