Very enjoyable small museum with much space dedicated to the "first people", their customs, traditions, and clothing. Very intereting displays and short videos. One floor was dedicated to art. Worth the time to visit

This is a "hip" coffee shop, cafe, restaurant in down town Anchorage. Good service, great food, delicious pastries, great coffee drinks in a stylish cafe setting with indoor and outdoor seating. Large picture windows provide lots of natural sunlight and great views of street life on the far west side of downtown close to Cook Inlet. In my opinion it is one of the nicest cafe style food joints in town. Easy short walking distance from most of the down town hotels.…

Wow. We had a few hours to kill during Fur Rondy and decided to visit this museum and are we glad we did. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Anchorage. The art in this museum is amazing....from romantic naturalism to modern art (mostly done by Aative Alaskans), we were in awe of the depth and breadth of the collection.

My only complaint is that the light is very low in that portion of the museum (probably to enhance conservation) but for my old eyes, I struggled a bit. But that is just a niggly little point and shouldn't stop you from visiting! Also, the museum's restaurant and store are fabuluous!!!!…
