: Lost Virtual Tour Hawaii - Filming Locations

The Contemporary Museum at First Hawaiian Center

The First Hawaiian Center tower in downtown is the tallest building in Honolulu, located at the corner of King St. and Alakea, and the corporate headquarters of First Hawaiian Bank. The Contemporary Museum has a permament display in the tower, which was the Lost filming location.

Notes

Enter through the front doors pictured on the photo on the left. As you walk forward, you will pass through a short foyer area into the main bank lobby. The main tellers will be to your left, and the stairway seen in 1x14 will be to your right immediately as you enter.

Since 1996, The Contemporary Museum (of Makiki Heights) has a permanent exhibition space here, sponsored fully by First Hawaiian Bank. The display ranges from the ground floor banking hall, through the stairs to the second floor. The second floor upper mezannine is where Mr. Paik's office was created simply by placing a desk in the middle of the expansive upper landing.

Episode 1x17 ...In Translation	*Lost Virtual Tour*
Jin visits Mr. Paik's office. The art-glass wall at rear is composed of 185 prisms.	The office space was actually a desk simply dropped into the middle of the expansive mezzanine at the top of the staircase. Here it is occupied by sculptures in a seasonal art display from Makiki's The Contemporary Museum.
	The staircase leading to the "office" is to the right side of the building as you enter; the teller lobby will be facing you from your left. Currently the staircase wall (not visible in our photo) also sported prints from The Contemporary Museum's art display, so the public was welcome to enter and browse these areas.

	Jack and Sarah were sitting on the mezannine balcony at center top. In the scene, the hanging wooden screens are visible behind them. The actual bank main teller lobby is below. This photo is taken from the stairway seen in Jin's flashback in Episode 1x17 ...In Translation, above.
