Pacific Tsunami Museum

The Pacific Tsunami Museum in downtown Hilo opened in 1998 in a former bank building of 1930 that withstood the tsunamis of 1946 and 1960, both of which devastated Hilo's waterfront. It records those disasters through survivors' accounts, photographs and objects, and explains how tsunamis form and how warning systems work.
