Reviews
"Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is defined as policies and practices that exist throughout a whole society or organization that result in and support a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race or ethnic group. It manifests as discrimination in areas such as criminal justice, employment, housing, healthcare, education and political representation. (Let everyone in free , not people due to race)"
"This place is amazing, I have been several times and it always surprises me. The Muse is fantastic too!"
"Had an evening flight out so we visited in the early afternoon and loved. Almost didn't get my adult children out of the Discovery Zone. The native people's exhibits were so beautiful and well done - I highly recommend them on the second floor. Love, love, lived the art work too! An afternoon well spent. Appreciate their educational discount on admission with teacher ID."
"This exhibit is a wonderful must see and is, in my opinion, the best part of the museum! I learned so much about the people and culture and history of Alaska. There are tons of objects that are labeled well, small tablets with a wealth of information on every object, and moving videos with interviews and historic photos."
"As fascinating an exhibit as you would expect from the Smithsonian. You could spend days there studying all the artifacts, reading the documentation, and watching the videos. Just be aware that it's actually the 2nd floor of the Anchorage museum, so unlike the proper Smithsonian in Washington DC, it's not free admission."
