Details of Charlot mural at UH Manoa's Bachman Hall




"Night Hula" is one of several of artist Jean Charlot's murals on campus. I read that it is 9x15' and depicts an ancient Hawaiian Hula scene. It was originally created as a private commission for a law office in Waikiki, then it was moved in 1991 and donated by the Aluli family to Kamehameha Schools.  After suffering some pretty serious weather-related damage there, it was re-located to UH-Manoa and restored in 2003. It is pretty cool -- and near my office.
