The Anchorage Museum is a place of ideas and transformation. It is a place of narratives and perspectives, resilient and relevant communities working toward a better future for all. The museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate and celebrates Alaska Native cultures through presenting voices, stories and cultural heritage pieces from the Smithsonian Institution. Art of the North and the history of Alaska combine throughout the museum, including our all-ages Discovery Center.
The Anchorage Museum sits on the traditional homeland of the Eklutna Dena’ina and is committed to recognizing and honoring the land, culture and language of the Dena’ina people.
