This is a museum not to be missed. Do not visit Fairbanks and go away without visiting this amazing museum. more

This museum is a grand highlight of any trip to Fairbanks. The view of the Alaska Range mountains from the museum's grounds is awesome. The museum building is an architectural gem. Taxidermists did a marvelous job with the specimens of many Alaska animals. There is so much information on the main groups of Alaska's native cultures; it helps those of... more

We visited the museum at the beginning of July. There were three areas that really stood out. The first was the Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery. The paintings were amazing. The second was the Gallery of Alaska where there were 5 geographic regions. Very informational - was not aware of the actual differences between one region of Alaska and another.... more

We went to the museum in July, 2009 and it was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. The exhibits are very informative and you can go through at your own pace.

My favorite part of the collection is the Rose Berry Gallery. It is... more

We visited the museum in late July this year. They have a wide range of artifacts...from clothing to art to fossils, etc. We particularly enjoyed learning about the different regions and cultures of Alaska. There is an admission fee, and there are additional fees to view the shows. It was a great thing to do on our rainy day. more

It rained and rained and rained while we were in Alaska, but we spent a very nice morning in this museum. There are quite a few exhibits crammed into the first floor -- it looks like a small space, but if one were to fully read and explore everything it would take a long time. The scattered displays highlighting Fairbanksian... more

What an incredible place. This Museum is a cultural, historical, artistic gem. Exhibits on the 1st floor describe the people and places around Alaska while the 2nd floor leads itself to cutting edge contemporary Alaskan art. I've been there multiple times and will go back in the future. Dont miss the Museum store! They have the most authentic Alaska gifts... more
