The 2,738 square foot teaching museum located at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, in Honolulu, consists of two exhibition galleries (the Beverly Willis gallery and the Michael J. Marks gallery) and a state-of-the-art object study center housing works of Asian art, Native Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli) art, and Pacific art. Most of the works in its permanent collection were donated by the American/Hawaiian artist John Chin Young (1909–1997). The museum is housed near the Dole Street entrance to the campus in a historic former pineapple research building. It has a large courtyard where public events are held.

From 2019 to 2023, the museum was directed by Dr. Maika Pollack.

The museum is open noon to 4:00pm on Sunday and Tuesday to Friday during Fall and Spring semesters. The museum does not charge admission and is open to the public. Parking in front of the museum on campus is free on Sundays.
