inupiat heritage center印象
-
This is a small museum that provides real insights into the unique history and culture of this remote settlement. An hour or so here makes it easier to put the sights and locations in context.Unlike many museums, it also has a community role as a place for the transfer and learning of local traditions, cultural activities and skills. It could benefit from the availability of a regular guided tour.A must see in Barrow if you are interested in the history and people of the place you are visiting.

I personally like to get insight into small communities and cultures at places on earth I visit.I think this center is a great asset to Barrow in that people like myself can learn quite a bit about the Iñupiat history in Barrow and other aspects of Alaska's history in general.Well worth a visit if you've come so far to the top of North America

We learned all about the importance of whaling and the Inupiat way of life. We watched dancers and drummers, as well as Inupiat artists carving baleen and whale gone. The museum is small but very interesting

Worth visiting the center. Very educational. Learned about the Inupiat traditions, history, and their way of life.

To be fair I do not like museums or heritage centers. I would never have gone in but what else is there to do here?!? It is $10.00 for an adult but free if you are 60 and older. And tip: post cards in the gift shop are only 55 cents! Ten minutes and I was ready to leave. There is not much here but the history of whaling and hunting. I learned a few things and some of it somewhat interesting, The library next door is a much better place to spend some time in my opinion.

The Center has a very nice exhibit on Whaling, a small section of discovery of Mammoth bones, a good display of local fauna, some traditional handicrafts and information on the development of the North Slopes Borough/mayors of the Borough. It is a great way to get an orientation to Barrow.

A pretty good overview of the history of whaling and living in Barrow. A little light on any other aspects of life in NSB, such as the impact of the pipeline and other aspects of Barrow, but a very good whaling exhibit.

I found myself with a couple of hours to kill while I was in Barrow and, even though I am not much of one for a museum, I really enjoyed my visit here. I easily spent more than an hour here and the time went by quickly. There was so much fascinating information and everything was presented well.

When I travel though Barrow I always stop here for really nice products and the museum! You will actually meet the native artists and can work out a deal for something you will hand down to your family. Come and shop and enjoy the craftsman's!

The people at the centre were friendly and very informative. It is a must to include on your visit to Barrow.
