    Closed and inaccessible since 2018!

    The Jaggar Museum was the park's first museum on Hawai'ian volcanoes and culture. It was damaged by an eruption in 2018, and scientists have identified Uēkahuna Bluff as being at risk of falling into the Kīlauea Crater. It is currently closed and has plans to be rebuilt as an addition to the Kīlauea Visitor Center on safer ground. This is a popular viewpoint to Halema'uma'u, the active crater within Kīlauea.
