Since the doors opened April 8, 1927, the Academy has steadily grown to become Hawaiʻi’s largest private presenter of visual arts programs, boasting a permanent collection of over 40,000 works of art from cultures around the world.

The Academy is accredited by the American Association of Museums and is also registered as a National and State Historical site. In 1990, the Academy Art Center was opened to provide a program of studio art classes and workshops. In 2001, the Academy opened the new Henry R. Luce Pavilion Complex with the new Pavilion Café, Academy Shop, and the Henry R. Luce Wing with 8,000 square feet (740 m²) of gallery space. In 2005, the Asian Painting Conservation Center was opened to provide ongoing conservation efforts for the Academy’s renowned Asian collection.
