This is a WONDERFUL Museum about the history of the state of Alaska. It was built in 2016 and has a FREE underground parking garage. It takes about 2 or 3 hours to go through the whole museum. There are many artistic artifacts and authentic tools and clothing, as well as taxidermy animals. Everything is laid out in a easy to follow fashion. The displays are very impressive, but not everything is labeled. The staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our visit tremendously and we highly recommend this museum!

Explored the Alaska State Museum during a visit to Juneau in early June 2023. Great place to learn quick facts about the history of Alaska. Really easy to spend at least two hours exploring the museum. It is a short walk from Main Street.

Must visit. Great way to spend a day. I never expected the museum to be so nice. It is big and has a lot, but also kind of felt empty in a way. Although It mostly was devoid of people. It's really just a lot of floor space. But, the exhibits are very nice and modern. I wonder what is in storage. Beautiful lobby and coffeeshop too. Has a small locker.

$14 an adult, kids were free. The staff was friendly. Gut jackets (not the technical name) were awesome!!! Very informative museum with lots of neat displays.

Great museum! Worth a visit to learn the history. Nice little area for kids, too. Very well maintained and the staff is friendly.

Just the right size for an hour or two on a rainy day, and then you'll say "Ah, I understand Alaska now". That's petty great. The excellent kids area keeps younger ones entertained too, and kids admission is free.

This museum has a broad array of topics that it tackles. It addresses Tlingit history, statehood history, politics on a national and state level, the role of Alaska in world wars among many, many other topics. The display cases are plentiful and full of information. The quality of the items displayed is very high. The informative descriptors on the cases is equally as high. This is a fascinating museum and well worth the visit.

I liked, but did not love this museum. I felt the price was very steep ($14) for the size of the displayed collection. The displays were well done and informative though. I get they want to make the most of tourists in the summer, just wish it was a couple of bucks cheaper for the value I got from the museum.
