Alaska's largest museum, the
Anchorage Museum features exhibits that provide insights into Alaska's Native cultures, Russian occupation, the gold rush, the Exxon Valdez oil spill and more.
The museum's $106 million expansion project resulted in several new, state-of-the-art attractions, and a multigenerational, hands-on science center puts scientific concepts into an Alaskan context.
The
Imaginarium Discovery Center, once a separate entity, has been folded in to the museum and wows visitors with more than 80 exhibits - including an aurora machine, a marine animal touch tank and an earthquake shake table.
The museum also boasts a planetarium, where kids and their adult companions can learn all about the night sky.
