Wanted to kill some time and check if it`s worth to go...and it`s definitely worth to spend 1-2 hoursnature, history, geography and... very well designed Native section! 6 or 8 $. I `ll go next time.
Often overlooked by cruisers, but should definitely be visited. A short walk from the downtown shopping, not crowded. The museum offers a first time visitor to Alaska a fine overview of Alaskan history and heritage of her people. Don't miss it!
This museum is smaller most but full of history, especially about the peoples of Southeast Alaska. There are many artifacts and documents to see plus some contemporary works. The contemporary works assure that the culture continues.
Very nice Museum - with lots of exhibits. Held our interest for couple of hours. Good museum for Alaska history.
Being in Alaska and Juneau, in particular, really brings home the thought of the native peoples of the area and the Museum is a spectacular display of Tlingit Indian culture and life. there are great displays of the culture, the home life, the boat building and just plain survival in the South Easter Alaskan lands.being part of the life is unimaginable and getting close to the cultural history of the area really brings home the real Alaska
We really wanted to go but drove by only to find out that it was closed for renovations until 2016. We had to go down to the Red Dog Saloon instead :-)
This is a nice little museum- takes maybe 2 hours tops. I enjoyed the natural history and Alaska native history sections. There very nice animal specimens and many native arts and artifacts. The museum's contemporary art section is definitely not a strong point.
While on a cruise ship vacation, we spent 90 minutes enjoying the state museum. It is relatively small, two floors, and encompasses galleries on the Alaska Natives, Natural History and the state's Political History. If you like museums I think that you'll find it a worthwhile attraction.
It was just closing and will remain closed until it moves in to a new building under construction. The few exhibits open seemed interesting so the new one should be great.
