This is not your grandma's museum. It is not all hushed-tones and Monet's. It is a beautiful space, packed with so much indigenous art and educational installations. It was full of families, and kids…Full review by L3074UAsusanb

There was a very rude security guard that was staring at me angry around on the first floor for the entire time I was on that floor. It was very uncomfortable and I left early even though I still wan…Full review by HikerFW1974

That is a good question. When I visited it was late February to early March of this year for my conference. On their website, they still have exhibits and events going on. However, if I were you I'd contact the museum to be sure since the main road to the museum is almost directly from the airport. I suggest going during Feb-Aug (more daylight). December there is a lot of snow and rain and driving conditions if one isn't used to it can be hazardous. Also in December, the sun rises at 10:30 am and sets at around 3pm so your daylight is cut dramatically short. I hope this helps!
Do you know when the construction reviewers are mentioning will be finished? Thank you for your help! I hope you and your staff have a phenomenal rest of the day!!

Hi there! I'm a museum employee. We have a few different areas under construction or renovation this summer. The Alaska Gallery on the 2nd floor will reopen on September 15. The new Rasmuson Wing, which offers 25,000 square feet of gallery space, will open on September 15 as well. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact the museum with any other questions!
We plan on being in Anchorage June 2017 Does the Cultural Pass for visiting the museum and the Alaska Native Heritage Center require both visits to be made on the same day? How do you attach the dog team rides? I haven't found much information on scheduling specifics for this activity. What days and times are they offered? Thanks.

Also, with the Cultural Pass, what is the schedule for departures from the museum to the heritage center and back?
If you go to the Anchorage Museum website you can pull up by date what is on the exhibit schedule. A quick look shows there is Beyond the Arctic Circle, River of Bears, Cosmic Colors, …
If you go to the Anchorage Museum website you can pull up by date what is on the exhibit schedule. A quick look shows there is Beyond the Arctic Circle, River of Bears, Cosmic Colors, Experience the Aurora: Plus!, etc. There is also a curators tour and guided summer tours offered at select times. There's quite a lot offered. Definitely check out the website for descriptions and exact dates and times. I hope you enjoy our fair city. Have fun!
