You can easily kill an hour in here, maybe a little more. Lots of history about the local native tribes. For three dollars you literally cannot go wrong. There are some very neat displays of the hunting techniques that the Native Americans used historically. There are some beautiful displays of nature and wildlife, as well as some very interesting art.... More

Don't miss this. This is a small museum by most standards, but that makes it possible to enjoy the whle thing without getting exhausted. It's conveniently located downtown, and is packed with the most interesting and important information and exhibits about local peoples and cultures, wildlife, Russian-Alaskan history, mining, etc. as well as rotating exhibits. Exhibits are very creative and... More

Especially interesting to me were the exquisite baskets on display. I saw some extremely fine woven examples.

I had an extra day on my own and went to the Alaska Museum. It was not only very well put together, but there was hardly anyone there so I didn't feel rushed or overcrowded. Interesting history that you can only find in a museum.

With the emphasis on aboriginal works, this museum stand proud. There does seem to be a limited selection (for the area and especially the State), but it is nonetheless worth the admission and more. An expanded gift shop might pay for more acquisition and I would like to see dioramas all the way up the staircase.

This is a small museum. Their native artifact collection mixes historical and modern pieces in the same case - very odd curation. The Anchorage museum has a better collection by far, both native art and modern white history. Except if you are in Juneau, stop here anyway if only to have a look at the copies of the documents about... More

We had a blast here! The kids got in free and so did my husband b/c he is active duty military. We only paid $3 for admission for me. It's always great to find a place to go that doesn't cost a fortune. The kids had a blast in the kids area. They offered lots of hands on activities for... More

This is the state museum and I enjoyed the visit it has some great displays of Alaska history and animals as well. The museum is not too big and well laid out. It does have a long very gradual spiral ramp to get to the upstairs and I am not sure of an elevator so handicapped people should be advised.... More

The giant globe, stuffed animals along the ramp to the top, the boat is fun for kids, hands on displays for kids, art work displays change regularly so there's always something new, lots of local Native culture
