Honolulu - Judiciary Building and Museum (Ali'iolani Hale, Palace of Justice)

This neoclassical building, the Judiciary History Center (about 1872) is frequently photographed because it is the backdrop of the famous statue of Statue of King Kamehameha I. It is distinguished by its central clock tower and the fact that many of the inscriptions are in Hawaiian.

Also known as the old courthouse the interior features a entry hall with a stained glass skylight.

Some of the court chambers may be seen upstairs.

A museum has been established downstairs which deals with two major themes. One covers the history of justice in Hawaii. The second covers life in Hawaii during World War II, restrictions which were imposed to prevent sabotage and the impact this had on various ethnic groups on the Islands.
