About
The hum of the atrium blends with quiet conversations as visitors explore Alaska's largest museum. The Anchorage Museum opened in 1968 with just 60 borrowed paintings. Today it spans over 140,000 square feet of galleries. You'll find art, history, and science exhibits that tell Alaska's story. The museum includes the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center and a planetarium. It's dog friendly, so you can bring your pup along.
Plan to spend a few hours here. Weekday afternoons are quieter. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday from noon to 6pm. It's closed on Mondays. If you have time, the Alaska Native Heritage Center is nearby and offers another perspective on local culture. No cover charge, which is rare for such a comprehensive museum.
