A report from Hawaii Magazine indicates that the Jaggar Museum at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island very likely will never reopen, even though public access to the park itself is scheduled to reopen on September 22.
The reason is that--in the aftermath of all of the volcanic activity and accompanying earthquakes in the area over the past several months--the caldera upon which the museum is built has been deemed "extremely unstable". Unfortunately, the closure not only affects the museum but also the fantastic scenic overlook adjacent to the museum, which gave visitors a spectacular overview of the Kilauea Caldera.
