Located just behind the bronze statue of King Kamehameha and approximately five minutes from the resort, Wailoa center’s circular exhibition center showcases the works of local artists in shows that change monthly. The center also exhibits an impressive display of photographs documenting the 1946 and 1960 tsunamis that severely impacted Hilo. The 12-foot high bronze statue of King Kamehameha I that was crafted in Italy in the late 1980s, and now resides on the ocean side of Wailoa center is a popular photo stop for visitors.
