'Rainbow' colors Bishop Museum Hall
Just as the rainbow remains a symbol of the Hawaiian Islands, so do the pristine waters, colorful wildlife and exquisite native plants. Two photographers, eager to share the beauty that most of us take for granted, return for an encore exhibition of "Remains of a Rainbow," which opens tomorrow at Bishop Museum.This stunning collection of portraits from acclaimed wildlife photographers David Littschwager and Susan Middleton documents Hawaii's rich but imperiled tapestry of indigenous flora and fauna.
In 2001, Littschwager and Middleton released their long-awaited third book, "Remains of a Rainbow: Rare Plants and Animals of Hawai'i," published by National Geographic in association with Environmental Defense. More than 40 of the book's portraits have been reproduced as part of the exhibit.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii and will be on display in the museum's Hall of Discovery through April 11 during museum hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Admission is $14.95 for adults, $11.95 for youths ages 4 to 12, and free to children under 4 and BMA members. Special rates are available for kamaaina, seniors and military.
