A wonderful experience allowing you to see, hear and experience all of Alaska’s rich history and culture. It was beautiful.

J
Joyanne – United States

It's been about 20-years or more since I went to the Anchorage museum with students. The interactive displays are so much fun. Those are great! I felt a little sad, though, the cultural displays are in areas so very dark. It was difficult to read the signs for the items. I realize you might do this because light fades the colors on certain items. I wish there was another way to help with that. I also missed the cultural displays of birchbark canoes and other larger items. Were they not out? I would also like to suggest to your museum planners to have a monthly tribe feature, or even other cultures. Filipina, Norwegian, Russian, etc.

Full description

Arrive at the Anchorage Museum and explore the exhibits dedicated to the art and design, history, science and culture of the North.

Admire hundreds of Indigenous Alaskan artifacts in the Arctic Studies Center loaned by the Smithsonian Institution. The center’s main exhibition is titled Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage: The First Peoples of Alaska. The exhibition features more than 600 objects from the Smithsonian's collections that were selected and interpreted with help from Alaskan Native advisers. Examples include an 1893 Tlingit war helmet from the southeast village of Taku and a 1935 Iñupiaq feast bowl from Wales, on Alaska’s northwest coast. Learn about objects through touch screens where you can zoom in on photos and scroll through more information, such as related oral histories and archival images. 

Upgrade your experience by visiting the Thomas Planetarium. Tickets for the Planetarium can be booked at check-in. Embark on a breathtaking journey to the stars, through 3D graphics, surround sound and a dome screen, and more. The planetarium offers a fascinating way to learn about astronomy and the Earth's solar system. The planetarium is home to a wide variety of interactive astronomy demonstrations, educational programs, and films.

The main Alaska exhibit as well as the special exhibition of local/indigenous cartoonists were excellent. Lots of school teens the day we went... glad to see them there learning.
