If you are overdue for a tranquilizing decompression session far from the maddening crowd, Kaua’i is the place. A sojourn to the Garden Isle would be incomplete without a walkabout through the Kaua’i Museum—the island’s treasure map and compass that will set you on the right path to discover, understand, and honor Kaua’i’s living history. Come along and join Lamea Almedah for a tour of the museum—she also talks story about her love of the dance of Hula and her passionate life as a Hula instructor.
