alaska state museum

下来横穿过2个街区就到了Alaska State Museum , 这应该是阿拉斯加相对最有意思的一个博物馆了，4刀的门票还算合理这个两层的博物馆，下面以阿拉斯加土著文化为主题，入口处悬挂着的大地球仪令人印象最为深刻，这个会自转的地球仪还简单概括了地球亿万年来板块气候变化的历史而楼上展示的则是阿拉斯加的近代史，比如当年美俄的交易谈判的现场，及最终仅以720万美元就成交的故事。还有阿拉斯加早期的矿业开采这里还有个儿童活动室，各种卡片游戏，模型道具，彩绘原料等等，应该经常会有学校组织小朋友们来参观博物馆时，可以做一些互动性的游戏。

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.

The museum is being torn town and replaced with a bigger and better one but not until 2016. Construction zone all around the museum. Stay away.

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 :-)

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.

bummer this was on the top pf my to do list. We had sporadic internet action but I don;t think this was showing closed on the website. I asked the busdriver on the way to Mendenhall and she said it was closed.

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!

The Alaska State Museum is a good place to spend a few hours during a dreary and drizzly Juneau day. Lots of history and artifacts of the early Alaskan life and culture. Even though we are Alaskan, we learned plenty of things we didn't know and enjoyed the displays. Great staff who are very helpful and encouraging. Yea Alaska!

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.

Very nice Museum - with lots of exhibits. Held our interest for couple of hours. Good museum for Alaska history.

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.

With a grandiose title of a "state" museum one would expect a resplendent display of the cultural and historic uniqueness of the 49th state. The museum seems cramped, the layout disconcerting as their is no natural flow from one small exhibit to the next. There is a childrens workshop area at the top floor that should entertain the small fry but ten minutes should do it. With the limited museums in town this will suffice on an inclement day

We were on a cruise and wanted to get away from some of the regular touristy attractions and walk about the town a bit, and take in some culture of a different form. We really enjoyed this museum; from the wide variety of displays, to the educational aspects, to the games for children. This museum truly is a gem and in my opinion a must see; our family spent over 2 hours there and were enjoyed the whole time there. Thanks to the very friendly staff as well that make this place great!

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.

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
