Royal Hawaiian Featherwork: Na Hulu Ali‘i at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Visit Royal Hawaiian Featherwork: Na Hulu Ali‘i at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from May 22-August 7, 2016, featuring nearly 70 exceptional featherwork objects. For centuries on the Hawaiian Islands, vividly colored feathers were valuable cultural resources used in creating spectacular garments painstakingly constructed by hand. ‘Ahu ‘ula (long cloaks and short capes), mahiole (helmets), and lei hulu (leis) bore rainbows of feathers to signify the divinity and power of ali‘i (chiefs), who wore them for spiritual protection and to proclaim their status.
