The University of Alaska Museum of the North is the only research and teaching museum in Alaska. The museum opened a new wing in 2005, which itself has become an architectural icon for the state and a must-see for visitors.
The museum’s research collections—2.5 million artifacts(文物)and specimens—represent millions of years of biological diversity and thousands of years of cultural traditions in the North. The collections are organized into 10 disciplines and serve as a valuable resource for research on climate change, genetics and other issues facing Alaska and the North.
See Alaska Native cultures, natural wonders, and diverse wildlife. Explore 2, 000 years of Alaska art. The museum’s exhibits are the best introduction to Alaska’s diverse wildlife, people and lands. Highlights include Alaska’s largest gold display, extensive displays of Alaska Native art and artifacts, and the world’s only restored Ice Age bison mummy(木乃伊). Our museum is as unique as the Arctic cultures we celebrate.
Be sure to plan time to explore the Museum Store. With a wide variety of Alaska Native art, books, jewelry and other Alaska products, you’ll find the perfect Alaska souvenirs.
