Volcano museum items to be displayed in Pahoa

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park announced Wednesday plans to lend some items from Jaggar Museum to a proposed visitor center in downtown Pahoa through a partnership with a nonprofit called the Mainstreet Pahoa Association.

Jaggar Museum will likely not reopen at the same location due to structural damage to the museum caused by tens of thousands of earthquakes from May to August, according to the National Park Service.

Scientists recently determined the ledge on which the museum sits is “extremely unstable,” preventing future use.

“We’re delighted to assist the Pahoa community and provide an opportunity for the public to experience the Jaggar exhibits a little longer,” said superintendent Cindy Orlando in a news release.
