Reviews
"This is the oldest and most comprehensive collection of Alaska native heritage artifacts. It's a small museum with a wealth of information and treasures to appreciate. The docent, Ramon, was incredibly informative and knowledgeable. Don't overlook this wonderful museum."
"The preservation of historical native artifacts can teach us a lot about the human experience of the past, but also lets us see today's world with fresh eyes. One instance: the sleekness and thoughtful design of sleds and kayaks compare favorably with modern designs made with computational optimization. Though human tools have evolved, our products have not evolved as much as we may think."
"So very rich and culture and so many exhibits you want to make sure you take plenty of time to view and read about it"
"A very unique experience. For those on a cruise this is worth the walk to see. Many cool artifacts with an interesting back story to the building. Lots of documented history and the lady at the front desk was very knowledgeable."
