Damien Museum (The)130 Ohua Avenue, Honolulu, HITel: (808) 923-2690 This small museum is dedicated to Father Damien Joseph De Veuster, a Belgian-born priest-martyr who worked among the victims of Hansen's disease (leprosy) who were exiled to Kalaupapa on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. He eventually contracted the disease and died of it. The museum's two rooms overflow with interesting photographs, artifacts and other memorabilia. A 20-minute video depicts the priest's life. In 1995, Pope John Paul II declared Father Damien blessed, the second of the three steps necessary before canonization as a saint. Admission is free.
