Are you interested in learning more about Alaska, and getting to also experience it in a new way! Then the Anchorage Museum is the right place to go. This museum includes the science, art, and history from everywhere in Alaska. If you desire to visit all of what is provided in this amazing museum, it’s 1-2 hours altogether. In my opinion, the most interesting part of history in the museum is the exhibit presenting the 1964 Earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2.

It also features interactive attractions that give visual presentations for tsunamis, volcanoes, and much more. Want to learn about the history and heritage of Alaska, stop by the educating exhibit Mana : The History We Inherit. This exhibit covers stories that are forgotten in Alaska that are untold, the main audio-visual aide in this exhibit is Mana (pronounced MAH-Nuh) this name has the root meaning of “inheritance, or to inherit”. The main people responsible for the exhibit are Shayne Nuesca, Joshua AlbezaBranstetter, and Tasha Elizarde; they wanted to share the fascinating stories of Filipino history in our breathtaking state. Make sure to look out for this exhibit on October 28th this year! Did you recently catch the new string of COVID-19, or get the Flu? The Anchorage Museum has online exhibits for everyone to enjoy! These exhibits differ from 6-10 completely original and important events in Alaska. I’m turning my main focus to one exhibit titled Extra Tough: Women of the North, it covers Alaska’s Indigenous women who have shown great dedication to labor, love, and creativity. If you are interested in experiencing the museum online, give it a visit! The main exhibit in the Anchorage museum is the Art of the North which is a permanent exhibit in the museum that shows the perspective of the wilderness and northern landscape that all Alaskans know and love. There are lots of different types of media present in this exhibit so you’re always looking at something new! Some of the new and temporary exhibits in the Anchorage Museum are Good Medicine, LaMont Hamilton: To Hear the Earth Before the End of the World, and Visitations: From Greenland to Iceland to Alaska in Borderless Arctic Seas. Speaking of seas, who doesn’t love fishing in Alaska? From how good they taste to how they got here, are you interested in learning the culture behind our lovely fish in Alaska? An exhibit called Salmon Culture gives information about not only our fish but also Alaskan natives. The salmon in Alaska has always been reliable for our communities spiritually and physically before any of us were born! This has brought together lots of people to embrace the food, and love in Alaska for our Salmon. The contributors to this exhibit are Anna Hover, Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi, Erin Gingrich, Ilegvak, Drew Micheal, and Rochelle Adams. They are bringing this exhibit alive on November 3rd this fall!
