- In this week’s episode of “Travels with a Curator,” join Curator Aimee Ng as she explores the Honolulu Museum of Art, which lent a portrait of Lady Meux by James McNeill Whistler to the Frick for its 2003 exhibition, “Whistler, Women, and Fashion.” Founded by Anna Rice Cooke, the daughter of a prominent missionary family in Hawaii, the Honolulu Museum of Art was meant to ensure that the children of the islands would have a place to learn not only about their own background and culture but about those of the diverse populations around them.

I grew up in the Honolulu Academy of Art. Sunday afternoons after church were often spent wandering through the galleries. I dreamed of getting married in one of the courtyards. Thank you for helping me understand that I was actually seeing a premier art collection as a small child. People often think of Hawaii as only beaches and sunshine, but we've also got a rich art Western art culture, too.
When the pandemic is over, I will remember fondly the role The Frick played in spending my time well. The videos are wonderful. Thank you.
you all prolly dont care but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me

Fascinating-she does such a good job always. I am so grateful for these talks from the Frick.
A fine commentary on The Honolulu Museum of Art which just reopened; it has a superb collection and is divinely peaceful; one of the best small museums I have ever seen
Best art videos ever. Love the Frick. Curators wonderful. Always an enriching experience.
Thank you for the wonderful review of HoMA! (I'm one of the curators there.) My colleagues and I visited the Frick last March and had a delightful time. Hope to meet you in person someday!
Excellent episode of Travels with a Curator. Thank you for the wonderful videos, well worth to watch during this critical times.
A marvelous presentation and a true gift to all of us art lovers. Thank you so much for your fantastic wealth of knowledge and delightful presentation.
Brilliant commentary; so informative. Aimee NG is outstanding. Grateful to the Frick.
Wonderful lecture, beautifully done! Thanks so much
Extraordinarily interesting presentation. Thank you.
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.
Now I have to find out about the 'scandal of Whistler" !! Thank you Amiee for your wonderful video, as always it was beautifully done and gave us so much.
Word has it in our family that Whistler was Jack the Ripper. A woman in Texas did research on this too and her research showed that the ripper victims DNA will match that on his paintings. I am a descendant of Lady Meux's brother William.
Well documented and I like how those two women displayed agency creating an enduring legacy. I love how Aimee has explained the chain of events and give so many insights in just 20 minutes. The Frick has the most amazing curators!
What a wonderful exposition of the Honolulu Museum and its history. We have so much to learn from each other. Thank you for underscoring that fact, Aimee!
Thank you Dr. Ng! Wonderful. And how timely for us as our daughter moved to Hawaii today to teach at the University of Hawaii! I look forward to our visit in December.
I loved the way Aimee said something like, "The museum didn't need color because color was supplied by Hawaii's plants" and, boom, we saw the image of colorful blossoms. Thank you!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Wonderful.. Thank you..
Aimee, your videos give me unrelenting wanderlust! I cannot wait to visit the Honolulu Museum of Art someday in the future. Thank you for your enthusiasm, perspicacity, attention to history, and deep analyses of artworks.
Thank you for the wonderful lecture. Being the museum I grew up with it was always a cooling oasis, as is this series for this now New Yorker in lockdown mode.
This is one of AIMEES BEST AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT!!
Hawaii. One of my favorite places. Agree with Valerie Mulholland that I will always remember these online talks from Frick.
Thank you Aimee, Again. I love these wonderfully assembled videos. I learn so much and your annunciation is lovely. Thank you so much. Lady Meux is fascinating
Was pleasantly surprised to see my old school/museum be featured as "Travels with a Curator"!!! We have a notable printmaking set-up! I think there are dragonflies in the Asian courtyard.
What fun facts! Thank you.
Thank you Aimee for your art lesson and for the lesson about the history of the Hawaii. Have a pleasant summer too. Saluti dall'Italia.
Thank you! Who would have thought that such a nondescript looking museum in Hawaii would have such wonderful art. I shall definitely make it a point to visit this museum when the pandemic is over
I'm sure I'll miss these wonderful programs!
At the beginning your story was froightening but so far eat often just sanwiches and the name of Cook is familier think so faar on the othet part of the world is just a nice guideline for mee .The founder with missioniers for children also were jenereus and lady Miux looked in black and white attractive for diffetent men of course.Thanks to you the see must bee bautiful .
I love the work of John Singer Sargent and appreciate seeing the wonderful example. Henry James was wrong about Whistler's lighter portrait with the terrific hat. What's in a name, a fortune would be as sweet if named Muse.
I will add this place to my list. Thank you for this wonderful video on this unexpected location!
Lovely in every way. Thank you. I regret not visiting when I was there!
So neat to see this again!! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 thank you Dr. Ng!
The Iolani palace is.. surreal
Thank you. You have convinced me to visit Hawaii. I enjoy the lecture very much!
I love Whistler ! 😍 And I didn't know that a Moroni picture, who hails not far from where I live (Mantua,Lombardy) is in Hawaii... I mean, wow! Thanks so much for the video, I am an art junkie, I watch loads of videos but the frick ones add probably tre he best ones! 😍
Excellent. Thank you!
Thank you, Aimee.
I’m so glad I chose to go and visit when I had the chance!😊
Fantastic way to spend a Friday. By the way I just read Fifth Business, based on your comments in a previous episode. Great book!
Hi, great video. We learnt so much about Capt. Cook at primary school and how the natives killed him but the real reason behind was kept very quiet from us, and still is. Richard Langdon. As a footnote my DNA will match that on the paintings *wink wink*.
The modern history of Hawaii is a textbook example of the truth that, no matter how bad things get, the evil inherent in Global Cancer Capitalism can always make them worse.
4:50 - Translation...White Americans, literally, stole Hawaii from the Hawaiian Kingdom, and America still illegally occupies Hawaii today. 5:19 - The United States apologized for stealing the land, yet has no plans to give it back. That's like me stealing someone's car. Then later apologizing by saying, "I was wrong to steal your car, but I ain't gonna give it back."
Thank you Aimee for pointing out how terrible the American's and Westerners were to settle and send missionaries to Hawaii. Maybe it wasn't worth mentioning the work of Father Damien who gave his life to work with the lepers. That wouldn't fit your narrative.
