Dive into Alaskan history at the Anchorage Museum. The state’s largest museum, it has exhibits featuring everything from native culture to art to local wildlife. It opened its doors in 1968 with 60 borrowed paintings and 2,500 objects. Today, it has a collection of 25,000 objects and 500,000 photographs. Among the permanent collections is the Alaska Exhibition, which details the ingenuity and knowledge of the different groups of people that have lived and thrived in this often harsh environment. The exhibition is divided into 13 themes, each of which encapsulates a vital aspect of Alaskan life. The Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center is well worth your time too.
