Overlooking Kilauea Caldera and Halema'uma'u Crater, is the historic Jaggar Museum, displaying some very dramatic murals depicting Pele, the Goddess of Fire, and the ancient Polynesian volcano rituals. The museum has many interesting exhibits about volcanoes, types of lava, stories and history of the Big Island volcanoes, and remains an active workplace of geologists and volcanologists.
