More information on Anchorage Museum of History & Art
The state's largest museum doesn't have its largest collection, but it has the room and staff to teach and to serve as a center of contemporary culture for this part of the world. Most visitors tour the large Alaska Gallery, an informative and enjoyable walk through the history and some of the anthropology of the state. In the art galleries, you can see what's happening in art in Alaska today; Alaskan art isn't all scenery and walrus ivory, but the grandeur of the state does influence almost every work. The Anchorage museum also gets the best touring and temporary exhibits. Depending on your interest, you could spend most of a day there. The restaurant, operated by the excellent Marx Brothers Cafe, serves some of the best lunches to be had downtown. Call or check the website for information on films, lectures, openings, and jazz happenings staged many summer evenings, a great opportunity to meet like-minded locals. The shop is an excellent place to buy authentic Alaska Native art. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
