In Hawaii, we visited Origamido. They currently have an exhibit in Waikiki. I have never seen such incredible origami. These origami masters make their own paper and use complicated computer-generated designs. Here's their website:

Their gallery:

That hummingbird/flower shown in that last video is in that exhibit.

These incredible 3-dimensional creations are made out of one sheet of paper with no cuts

It is an unbelievable exhibit--a compilation of masters' works from around the world.

The people from Origamido go to schools and have interactive programs with the kids. It looks like a really fun program for kids. They also have a ton of books that can be purchased.
