Anchorage Museum

The Anchorage Museum is one of Alaska’s principal cultural institutions, devoted to the state’s land, peoples, art, history, and science while serving both Anchorage and communities across Alaska through exhibitions and programs. Opened in 1968 in a 10,000-square-foot building, it grew from a small collection and staff into a museum of 170,000 square feet with accredited collections in Alaska history, Art of the North, and ethnography. Its Alaska Gallery interprets the state’s story from native fauna and early migrations to the present, and its partnership with the Smithsonian has strengthened research and returned hundreds of Alaska Native artifacts to the state on long-term loan.
